During confinement, Queen Elizabeth II received a gift from a 7-year-old boy. This particular present touched the Queen who replied with a letter.
Like all English citizens, Queen Elizabeth II was confined for several months. She was at Windsor Castle with her husband, Prince Philip. She also spent a lot more time with her husband than usual since her schedule was greatly reduced. She was also able to indulge in her passions such as horse riding and hidden words.
Indeed, according to the British newspaper Mirror, the queen received a grid of hidden words invented by Timothy, a young boy of 7 years old. Timothy was afraid that the queen would be bored and feel sad or alone during confinement. He made her a custom grid “to cheer him up“.
An attention that touched Elizabeth II a lot. Timothy also received a letter to the Windsor coat of arms from the Queen’s assistant: “The Queen wanted me to write to you and thank you for your adorable letter, and for the puzzle you created especially for her. Your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated, and the Queen hopes that you will take care of yourself during this time.“
