A toddler was sent a very special letter from Buckingham Palace after dressing up as the Queen for Halloween.
Jalayne Sutherland received the royal seal of approval for her incredible costume, wearing a double breasted overcoat with matching hat, white wig and Her Majesty's signature pearls.
In a picture taken by mum Katelyn Sutherland, the one-year-old completed the look with her beloved family corgis standing at her side.
Katelyn, from Ohio in the US, decided to send the adorable snap to the Queen herself on a whim - but never believed that she would actually receive a reply, according to the Mirror.
She said: "The biggest inspiration for the outfit was the fact that our dogs are our daughter's best friends.
"We wanted to do something where they could all be included together. We are most definitely fans of the Royal family and truly admire how the Queen walks by faith."
Katelyn said her daughter's costume was met with lots of praise as she took her trick-or-treating on Halloween this year.
She added: “While walking around on Halloween we received many, many compliments but my favourite reactions were when people bowed to her or did the royal wave and said, ‘Your Majesty!’”
The letter, from the Queen's lady in waiting the Hon Marry Morrison, said: “The Queen wishes me to write and thank you for your letter, and for the photograph you thoughtfully enclosed.
“Her Majesty thought it kind of you to write to her, and The Queen was pleased to see the photograph of your daughter, Jalayne, in her splendid outfit.
“Her Majesty hopes you all have a very Merry Christmas, and I am enclosing a little information about the Royal Pets, which Jalayne might like to have.”
The letter was stamped with the Windsor Castle insignia and dated December 9, 2021.
