Wils makes apology for Liz

A 109-year-old woman who wrote to the Queen to complain about the birthday cards she had been sent got a personal apology from Prince William.

Catherine Masters from Oxfordshire wrote to say the Queen was wearing the same outfit in each of the five congratulatory cards she had received. The Prince visited Ms Masters at her nursing home and said his grandmother would change her outfit this year.

Wendy Mead, a senior nurse manager at the Mrs Master’s care centre, said: “It was a total shock, and Catherine was speechless. Prince William came in and she asked if he was real. She squeezed his hand to check. “He told her he liked making shepherd’s pie and said he used a masher to mash the potatoes, but she told him he was doing it wrong - he should use a fork to fluff the potatoes.”
