Queen Elizabeth Personally Thanks Man for 60-year Christmas Card Ritual
When a young man took over his grandfather’s Christmas tradition, he was brought to tears by a personal letter from Queen Elizabeth II.
Every year since she ascended the throne in 1952, Andrew Simes’ grandfather would tenderly address a Christmas card to the queen.
When they eventually met at a reception in Turkey in 1972, the Queen skipped the usual formal introduction and handshake.
