In her hand drawn card Melissa went on to explain how disappointed she was that she had been unable to explore Buckingham Palace during a recent visit with her sister and Grandmother as the tube strikes left them short for time according a Mirror report.

The charming young lass also extended an invitation to the Queen to attend her upcoming sixth birthday party.

Within a few days Melissa received a response from the Queens’ lady-in-waiting thanking her for her kind words, and an apology that Queen would be unable to attend her birthday.

It read: “The Queen wishes me to write and thank you for your letter in which you tell Her Majesty about your disappointment at not being able to tour the State Apartments at Buckingham Palace.

“Her Majesty was sorry to hear that you and your grandmother tried twice to see inside the palace and that, for various reasons, you were unlucky.

“Although unable to come to your birthday party, the Queen greatly appreciated your kind thought for her, and I hope you have a lovely time with your family and friends on September 27.

“I am to thank you too for your kind thought in writing about the forthcoming splendid milestone in Her Majesty’s reign.”
