While cleaning out the attic, a couple from Warwickshire, England came across a special note. The text on Buckingham Palace stationery reads: 'Dear Grandma, I'm sorry you are ill. I hope you'll get better soon." The auction gem went under the hammer last week for thousands of euros.

The letter that emerged during spring cleaning is from King Charles III. He wrote the touching note at the age of six on March 15, 1955. Next to the text: 'Dear grandmother, I am sorry that you are ill. I hope you will be better soon. Lots of love from Charles', colorful kisses and scribbled circles decorate the letter. 

The lucky finder, a 49-year-old business executive, explains that he and his wife finally had time to go through a large box that his mother had given them. The box comes from his late grandfather Roland Stockdale. His grandfather worked for the Metropolitan Police, where he was part of the Queen's personal protection force in the XNUMXs. 

The box lay in various attics for 30 to 40 years, but contains more royal memorabilia in addition to the note. There was also eand invitation to a party at Balmoral Castle, a note signed by Queen Elizabeth II's mother, gift cards signed by Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, as well as a copy of the Queen's 1956 Christmas speech.  

Charles's note ultimately sold at auction by Hansons Auctioneers for €7.895.
