English boy’s balloon launch to find pen pal finds Queen Elizabeth

Monarch told personal assistant to reply to message

that landed in castle

A 4-year-old British boy who released a balloon with a message hoping to find a pen pal in a foreign land ended up having a correspondence with Queen Elizabeth II.

Tom Stancombe let go of his helium balloon in Hampshire, west of London, but rather than flying across to France or half way around the world, it ended up just 20 miles away, landing inside Windsor Castle, the Daily Mail reported.
