The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge have sent a heartfelt letter to a schoolgirl who had taken the
trouble to send Prince George an invitation to her birthday.
The mother of the little girl
later shared the sweet response from Kensington Palace on Twitter, under the
username @xxAimeeRoxyxx.
Although the royal couple
politely declined the invitation, Prince William and Kate were left
“immensely touched” by the sweet gesture.
In the social media post,
which has gone viral on Twitter, their letter of response 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 message continued: “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.”
It’s set to be a busy few
weeks for Prince George and his siblings Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
It’s believed they are set to move to Windsor this summer.

It’s thought that the move is
motivated by the family’s desire to be closer to both the Queen and Duchess
Kate’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, who live in Bucklebury in
Berkshire.
The move to Windsor Estate
from their home at Kensington Palace will give Prince George and his siblings
more freedom to enjoy their favourite outdoor pastimes, which include swimming,
football and tennis. It is believed the family will live in a four-bedroom
Adelaide Cottage on the Windsor estate, which will provide the Cambridge
children with infinite space to play outdoors and explore the surrounding
gardens.
