Princess Charlotte received a very important letter ahead of a special meeting.
The contents of the letter were later revealed by Charlotte’s parents Prince William and Princess Kate. They shared a snippet of their Instagram Stories on Tuesday, December 12 via the official Prince and Princess of Wales Instagram page. The sweet letter was handwritten especially for 10-year-old Charlotte by the peer’s daughter Carly Barrett, who received an MBE from King Charles at Windsor Castle the day before.
“Dear Princess Charlotte,” the letter began, boasting excellent penmanship. “My name is Grace Barrett and I’m 10 years old, just like you!”
The letter continued: “I am writing to you because I will be visiting you in December with my mum, Carly Barrett, who is being awarded an MBE for her exceptional work helping people affected by crime. My Nana, Alison Madgin, is also receiving an MBE on the same day.”
Madgin founded Samantha’s Charity in 2019 in honor of her late daughter Samantha, who was stabbed to death in 2007. Along with Samantha’s sister Carly, the organization aims to raise awareness of knife crime, particularly among the young.
Inspired by the strength of her mother and grandmother, Grace wrote in her letter, “I am really proud of them both and feel [text missing] and honored to be with them.”
