Prince William and Kate Middleton have sent a sweet letter to a six-year-old girl who invited their son Prince George to her birthday party.
The child’s mother took to Twitter to share a note she received from a royal aide on behalf of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
It read: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have asked me to thank you for your letter, in which you invite Prince George to your 6th Birthday party.”
“I am sorry that it took so long to reply. Their Royal Highnesses were extremely grateful for your kind invitation.”
“Having given careful consideration to the possibilities, however, I very much regret that Their Royal Highnesses reluctantly feel they have to decline. Nevertheless, I hope that you enjoyed your birthday.”
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were immensely touched that you should take the trouble to write as you did to their son, Prince George.”
“It really was most thoughtful of you and Their Royal Highnesses have asked me to send you their warmest thanks and best wishes,” the note finished.
Prince George celebrated his 9th birthday last month, and a new photo of him was released to mark the occasion.
The portrait was taken by his mum Kate, 40, and shows the young prince smiling on the beach in a blue top.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who tied the knot in 2011, are also parents to Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
