An Australian family took a trip to London, where they toured Buckingham palace. While they were there, their 5-year-old daughter left behind her beloved stuffed monkey. When the family returned to Australia without Harriet the monkey, they wrote a letter to Buckingham palace hoping that someone had turned her in.
They did find her. Not only that, the staff took photos of all of Harriet's adventures around Buckingham palace, including lunch outside and helping the employees lead tour groups. They gave her a name tag and everything, then they sent her back home to Australia, accompanied by a stuffed corgi similar to the Queen's dogs.
