Anisha told Queen Elizabeth she often thinks about herself as a queen “and how it feels.” The child wrote, “How does it feel to be a real queen; to live in a real palace?” She continued, “I really wish to meet you in person. My passion is to help people and animals My heart is filled with love just like yours.” Among the things about Queen Elizabeth Anisha was told by her parents, is that she is the longest reigning monarch - over 66 years.
