A 12-year-old Brazilian boy wrote a letter to the Queen of England, Elizabeth II, and she sent him an answer. Eduardo N. is from Caçador, in Santa Catarina state. Last December, he mailed a letter to the Queen. In February 2019, he received a message written by a lady-in-waiting who answered in the Queen’s name.

“In my letter, I said I was her fan and that I wanted to visit the palace,” says Eduardo. He wrote the message in English by himself, but his grandmother helped him mail the letter. “I also made a drawing of her and sent some photos of mine.”

Eduardo explained that he became a fan of the royal family when he was 10. At that time, he started to research England on his own. The search made him become fascinated with the Queen’s universe and led him to write the letter. “I think the Queen is very beautiful, and I like her palace. I am interested in old things and her palace is full of furniture and old objects.”

When JOCA asked him about his reaction when he received the monarch’s answer, Eduardo quickly said: ”I was very happy, and almost jumped out of the window with joy (laughs).”

“The Queen has asked me to write and for the letter, the drawing, and coloured photos”, said the letter sent to Eduardo.

    Hello, Thiago! Lady-in-waiting is the same as a lady (a woman) who works with the queen, helping her to do a lot of things, like answer to letters.
