Hamper from Prince Charles

We got an email from Jim's cousin, Maureen, whose good friend, Mary Chown in Cardiff, received this hamper from Prince Charles since they share the same birthday, Nov.14, 1948. He gave hampers to 25 people who entered a contest to celebrate his 60th birthday. Apparently, the Queen sent out hampers to 2500 families whose children were born on the same day as Charles in 1948 and her mother received one. It was especially welcome as rationing was still going on in Britain then.
