Duchess Meghan’s heartfelt letters to students
The Duchess of Sussex is an avid note-writer since before she married into British royalty and even Hollywood fame.
It appears while becoming a member of one of the world’s most recognisable families has been a life altering change in a myriad of ways, there is one thing the Duchess will never let go of - and that is her habit of sending letters.
The royal mother of one has left a classroom of students overjoyed after it was realised she had sent them personal notes.
A year 3-4 class at Woodlands Community Primary School in Birkenhead, Mereyside were put to the task of writing letters addressed to the Duchess, as part of their unit on Black History Month.
A number of the pupils received thankful notes from the royal after posting to the Duchess.
"Imagine our excitement when we received personal letters back from Buckingham Palace!" the school wrote on Twitter, along with a picture of the happy students.
The Buckingham Palace correspondence staffer Claudia Spens wrote an introductory letter to the teacher of the class, whose students took time to write to the royal.
"I am writing to thank you for your recent letter and enclosures in connection with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's visit to Birkenhead, Merseyside in January," Spens wrote.
"Their Royal Highnesses very much enjoyed their visit to Birkenhead and greatly appreciated the warm welcome they received. I am so glad that the children were able to meet The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
"I would be grateful if you could pass the enclosed envelopes to each child that wrote a lovely letter to Her Royal Highness."
While it didn’t look like the letters were penned by hand, the Duchess is famous for her distinctive handwriting and has spoken about her love for a personally written note.
Even before she established herself as a well known actress, the royal worked as a freelance calligrapher.
"Amongst the throwback things that I love ... what trumps all is my love of writing (and receiving) a handwritten note," Meghan once wrote on her lifestyle blog The Tig.
"I think handwritten notes are a lost art form.
“The idea of someone taking the time to put pen to paper is really special."
