More than 50,000 letters and messages expressing the public’s condolences following the Queen’s death and funeral have flooded into Buckingham Palace. The Royal Family have received sack loads of mail from well-wishers all around the world who felt moved to write and convey their sympathy for the monarchy.
On September 19 – the day of the Queen’s funeral – King Charles III and his family were pictured looking emotional as hundreds of thousands of people filled the streets of London and Windsor to pay their respects as the coffin procession passed by.
The day after the funeral, the daily amount of correspondence peaked at 6,500 – out of a total of more than 50,000 letters – Buckingham Palace said.
Pictures were taken at Buckingham Palace earlier this week showing some of the thousands of letters being opened by members of the royal household’s correspondence team.
One card was printed with the words “we are thinking of you” above a crown, and many letters were addressed personally to the new monarch “His Majesty King Charles III”.
