Jalayne Sutherland receives a special letter from the Queen

The New York Post reports that the little girl, Jalayne Sutherland, was an immediate hit after she wore a double-breasted overcoat with a matching hat, a white wig and pearls around her neck.

After her mother, Katelyn sent a photograph of the ensemble (together with two corgis – the Queen’s favourite pet) to Windsor Castle, they were surprised to receive a letter in return.

The perfect royal ensemble

She said, “The biggest inspiration for the outfit was the fact that our dogs are our daughter’s best friends.

“We wanted to do something where they could all be included together. We are most definitely fans of the royal family and truly admire how the Queen walks by faith.”

After going trick-or-treating in their neighbourhood, Jalayne received a lot of praise.

“While walking around on Halloween, we received many, many compliments, but my favourite reactions were when people bowed to her or did the royal wave and said, ‘Your Majesty!’” Katelyn explained.

A Merry Christmas from her Majesty, the Queen

The letter reads:

The letter, from the Queen’s lady in waiting, the Hon. Marry Morrison, said: “The Queen wishes me to write and thank you for your letter, and for the photograph you thoughtfully enclosed.

“Her Majesty thought it kind of you to write to her, and The Queen was pleased to see the photograph of your daughter, Jalayne, in her splendid outfit.

“Her Majesty hopes you all have a very Merry Christmas, and I am enclosing a little information about the Royal Pets, which Jalayne might like to have.”
