I immediately mailed it out, and actually did not expect any sort of response; I assumed that the Duchess of Cambridge would be receiving letters and good wishes from all over the globe, and would not bother to respond to each individually.
I was wrong, and today Raphaela received a letter from the Duchess (her personal secretary) along with a photo of the happy family after Princess Charlotte's christening. My daughter of course was thrilled, because Kate is our personal princess, the woman who is the sole reason that Raphaela will agree to wear warm weather clothing when it is cold outside.
Color me impressed.
(Compare this experience to Disney, the supposed experts in Princess marketing: Raphaela wrote a letter to Elsa and Anna, and didn't even get a generic post card in return.)
When I was in fourth grade, the boys in the class wanted to torture the girls, and told us that Judy Blume was dead. Our favorite author at the time, we girls immediately wrote to her publisher and asked if this was true. I remember to this day receiving a letter from Judy Blume, in which she reassured us that she was not dead, and that she would be continuing to write for many years to come. The author also sent us (just the girls) an autographed photo, and I still have it in my keepsake box.
