Harry and Meghan send letter to Aussie family after royal tour

While everyone scrambled to get a glimpse of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle when they toured Australia in October, one family has been sent a personalised letter from the couple.

NSW mum, Kelwyn White, took to her Twitter to post a picture of the letter, which has left her four children, Maddie, Finn, Sienna and Hamish, absolutely delighted.

The kids sent their own note to Kensington Palace before the royal tour, asking if pregnant Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, would like to come over to their house for afternoon tea.

“A couple of months ago the kids decided to write to Harry & Meghan and invite them to afternoon tea whilst they toured Australia. Today they were super excited to receive a reply from @KensingtonRoyal,” Ms White wrote on Twitter.

Unfortunately the royals were unable to visit the kids, but made sure a Kensington Palace aide sent a letter to apologise.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have asked me to thank you for the lovely letter you sent in which you invited them to afternoon tea at your house,” the letter starts.

“Your menu sounded delightful and, although Their Royal Highnesses were unable to take up your kind invitation, they have asked me to send a photograph for each of you as a special thank you.”

Kelwyn then showed a picture of the kids holding up the letter and their photos of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, with massive grins on their faces.

The royals visited Sydney, Melbourne, Fraser Island and Dubbo when they were in Australia, before flying to New Zealand, Tonga and Fiji.
