Last week, King Charles delivered something truly personal to 12-year-old Ella Jevons, praising her uplifting work singing for dementia patients in local care homes.
The proud family sharing moment was posted on Twitter by retired fashion retailer Steve, who beamed with pride at the recognition from Buckingham Palace itself.
The beautifully simple note, written on palace stationery and signed by the king’s chief of royal correspondence, said Her Majesty was “deeply touched” by Ella’s music and community spirit, and sent her “best wishes for a full and speedy recovery” after she fell ill.
For someone her age, receiving encouragement directly from the monarch is simply unforgettable and, as her grandfather said, “not bad for a 12-year-old girl!” »
But that’s not the only royal nod making headlines this week. While the traditional Scottish celebration of poet Robert Burns took place on January 25, King Charles celebrated Burns Night with a Scottish touch straight from his library at Balmoral Castle.
The palace has released a striking portrait of the monarch in his own tartan kilt designed by the Scottish Tartans Authority and named in his honor to commemorate the bard’s birth.
Charles has long shown a fondness for Scottish culture, often appearing in Highland costume and embracing his role as guardian of British and Scottish heritage.
