It is no secret that Queen Elizabeth II — Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, who died at the age of 96 last month — was extremely fond of her grandchildren, especially Princes William and Harry.
While Harry stepped down as a senior member of the royal family to relocate to the US two years ago, William continues to work and stay in the UK.

A Daily Mail report recently stated that the note went up for auction by Boston-based RR Auctions in December 2016, where it was expected to fetch up to £1,400 (INR 1,33,029). Back then, Robert Livingston, the executive VP at the auction house, had called it a “seldom-encountered piece of correspondence from within the royal family, enhanced by its fitting Christmas time association”.
During the time of the queen’s passing, William had written for his grandmother, “She was by my side at my happiest moments. And she was by my side during the saddest days of my life. I knew this day would come, but it will be some time before the reality of life without Grannie will truly feel real…”
