Adorable letter from young King Charles to his ‘ill granny’ revealed

A sweet letter written by a young Charles to his ‘ill granny’ has been found in a loft.

The note was written on Buckingham Palace notepaper and is dated March 15, 1955, which means that Charles was only six years old.

The letter, addressed to Charles’ sick grandma, read: “Dear Granny, I am sorry that you are ill. I hope you will be better soon.”

On the back of the paper, Charles also added: “Lots of love from Charles.”

He then signed the letter off with colourful scribbles and kisses.

The letter was found during a Christmas break clear-out by a couple who live near Stratford-Upon-Avon.

Royal memorabilia discovered

The couple stumbled across the letter in a folder along with other royal letters. It had been lying in a cardboard box for more than 40 years.

Talking about his discovery, the unnamed seller said: “We finally had the time to look through a big box file that my mother had given to us.

“It originally belonged to my late grandad Roland Stockdale.

“It contained lots of royal memorabilia, including a letter from Prince Charles to his grandmother.”

Charles’ letter had originally belonged to their late grandfather, Roland Stockdale.

Dear Granny, I am sorry that you are ill. I hope you will be better soon.

Roland is understood to have worked with many royals and been “involved in helping to protect the Queen Mother”.

The touching letter is set to sell for £3,000 when it goes under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers on March 7.
