Change language:
They got the Queen’s message the day before their graduation as a gift. Below, you can read the whole letter.
Graduating students of the Commerce and Catering Vocational High School of Szombathely received a special gift in their scrip because Queen Elizabeth II herself wrote a letter to the class.
According to the school’s Facebook-post announcing the gift, the students have been learning British and American civilisation for 4 years during which they became fans of the history and life of the British royal family. Therefore, they sent a lot of congratulatory letters and postcards to the queen on different occasions for which they always received an answer – szeretlekmagyarorszag.hu reported.
However, this time, their letter of introduction was read out personally to the Queen herself who
dictated her answer to one of her ladies-in-waiting.
In fact, Elizabeth II receives an average of 300 letters from every part of the world on a daily basis, so, there are so-called pre-readers who select those ones that are to be read out personally to the Queen. According to the letter sent from Windsor Castle to the Hungarian students, the Queen was interested to hear about the English language students of the school who also “enjoy learning about British culture and the Royal family. […] Her Majesty sends her good wishes to you all for the future” – the letter concludes.
The students received the Queen’s answer in their last class before their graduation. It was a total surprise for them, and, of course, each one of them got a copy in their graduation scrip.
