How to send a letter to buckingham palace?

I’m from Malaysia and I seen some videos from instagram that they receive a letter from Buckingham palace and I was wondering how to do it. (I already know the postal rate to send it to the uk just letting you know)

Hi, late to the party but I was wondering myself and I found a site that sends it on your behalf and you can also have the option to do the formal salutation!

If you wish to write a formal letter, you can open with 'Sir' and close the letter with the form 'I have the honour to be, Sir, Your Majesty's humble and obedient servant'.
Do the Royal Family actually want people to like them?!

Maybe not in blood though, or the Palace's reply might be hand-delivered by Special Branch.

Imagine being sad enough to write that hahaha

I'd rather gauge out my eyes with screedrivers

I would; ceremony can be fun 😂
The "your obedient servant" thing is a very old way of closing a letter. It even made it into the Hamilton musical (the letters start at 0:45ish; it's hilarious)

deferring as a lesser mortal to a non democratically elected head of state in a family of nonces isn't fun in the slightest.

The truth is bitter but sometimes we just have to accept that we are lesser mortals. Applies in all walks of life, from job, appearance, dating prospects etc.

SW1A 1AA is Buckingham Palace and SW1A 2AA is 10 Downing Street

My brother was handed a phone number at his work and told “phone Tony, it’s urgent”. It was the number for 10 Downing Street 😂

My daughter wrote to the Queen when she was 6 and got a lovely letter back. I think she designed some shoes the Queen might like and sent the drawings along too, and asked for her shoe size. The letter told her a little bit about who makes the Queens shoes and that they were custom made. It made her day.
