Lots of little kids dress up as superheroes or characters for Halloween, but 2-year-old Jalayne Sutherland decided to go a different route.
It was actually her mom, Katelyn Sutherland, who had the good idea of dressing her daughter up as Queen Elizabeth II. But the idea was 100 percent inspired by her daughter, who loves corgis(柯基犬) just as much as the queen does. “Ever since Jalayne was born, the two corgis have been best friends with her,” Katelyn said. “Especially since she started eating and feeding them food, they loved her even more.”
They already had the corgis needed to complete Jalayne’s costume, so the real challenge was putting together the perfect set of clothes. In addition to finding a pale blue coat, pearls, and a brooch(胸针), Katelyn made a wig(假发) that she glued onto a matching light blue hat. Friends and family members all talked about the results on Facebook, even encouraging Katelyn to share them with the queen herself.
The mom didn’t think it was likely that royalty(王室) in England would take the time to respond to a letter all the way from Kentucky, but with Queen Elizabeth feeling ill at the time she sent the letter, Katelyn thought it might be a nice way to cheer her up.
It turns out, Katelyn was right! On December 27, 2021, about a month and a half after they mailed the photo, Katelyn discovered that a letter addressed to Jalayne had arrived … and it had the royal stamp.
“It was mixed in with our other mail. I had to calm myself down and make sure not to rip the envelope,” Katelyn said. The letter will finally be given to Jalayne, but for now, her parents plan to keep it in the living room.
