Through the eyes of a little girl hoping for a school visit by the Queen, the range of royal underwear is revealed, in all its regal glory" Remember to write who it is to and write who it is from.

For almost three decades, schoolchildren bombarded Elizabeth II with underpants designed by their own fair hands. Think about the materials that different types of clothing are made from. Why did the manufacturer decide to use those materials? How are the different parts joined together?The King was deeply touched that you should have taken the trouble to write, and would have me convey his warmest wishes to the pupils and staff at Holy Trinity C of E Primary Academy and Nursery.
