Queen Elizabeth Pleased with Prince William Down Under
The Queen has sent her grandson, Prince William, a personal letter of thanks saying job well done after his official visit to Australia in 2011. Just weeks out from Prince William's marriage, the second-in line to the throne spent time in flood-ravaged parts of Queensland and Victoria in mid-March after having visited earthquake-devastated Christchurch in New Zealand.
"When I got back, then I got a letter from her (the Queen) saying 'Congratulations, well done, it was a very good trip' and words like that. There's a lot of gravitas behind them and you feel you've done a good thing and it's words like that that mean an awful lot," Prince William, now 29, told the BBC.
