Long Bennington schoolgirl sends card to poorly prince Duke of Edinburgh Published: 12:05, 04 April 2021
A schoolgirl has received a personal reply from Buckingham Palace after sending a get well card to the Duke of Edinburgh.
Five-year-old Matilda Harper, of Long Bennington, wanted to do something to try and make Prince Philip smile after she saw that he was in hospital.
Mum Rachel said: âMatilda saw the news of the âold manâ and asked who he was. We told her it was the Queenâs husband Prince Philip and he was 99 but very poorly. Obviously she was then worried he might have Covid, but we reassured her that he was only a little poorly and needed a sleepover in hospital to get better.
