The message was personally signed “Elizabeth R” despite the monarch currently being on her annual summer break at the Balmoral estate.
While the Queen has toned down her official engagements now due to mobility issues, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did represent Her Majesty on a tour of Pakistan in 2019.
They paid a special visit to the colourful Kalash village in Chitral and Duchess Kate couldn't resist pulling out her trusty camera to take memorable photographs of the beautiful location.
