Queen Elizabeth II marked 70 years on the British throne this year. During the Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the monarch viewed a selection of cards, letters and artworks sent to her by children and other people, the official Instagram handle of the Royal Family shared.

Among them was a note detailing ‘A Recipe for a Perfect Queen’ sent by a 9-year-old boy named Chris in 2002.

According to the young boy, the ingredients required to make a perfect queen.

*500 ml of Royal blood

*A dab of jewels and posh gowns

*A dash of loyalty

*1/2 litre of hard work

*2 tbsps of healthiness

*A cup of courage

*A handful of Royal waves

*A few drops of a good smile

Chris then went on to describe the process too. “First put 500 ml of royal blood into a big mixing bowl and then add a cup of courage. Next, put 1/2 litre of hard work into the bowl. After that, mix it all and at the same time, put in a tablespoon of healthiness. Now blend in a good smile and some royal waves. Simmer for 50 years, fold in a dash of loyalty and you have your perfect queen,” he wrote.

Queen Elizabeth II remains under medical supervision in Scotland as her doctors raised concern over her health, the Buckingham Palace said on Thursday.
