A private hand-written letter by the Duchess of Cambridge, in which she thanked Wimbledon officials for allowing her to mingle unnoticed at the Championships in 2008, shows a number of spelling mistakes.
In the letter, which has gone on display at the All England Club's museum, she wrote "quite" instead of "quiet" and confused "'till" with "'til".

"My friend and I had such a fantastic time and it was great to be able to enjoy the day knowing we could have a little peace and quite [sic] if things got too hectic," she wrote."I do hope the end of the tournament runs smoothly and this fantastic weather lasts 'till [sic] the end of the week."
Despite the grammatical gaffe, her politeness and poise are easily identifiable through the running writing.
"Thank you so much for the wonderful seats. It was so special to see the end of Murray's game and Nadal's easy walk into the quarter finals. Thank you again for making it such a fun and enjoyable/easy visit," the letter concluded.
Middleton received pedigree schooling at the exclusive Marlborough College where current fees are over $44,000 a year. She then went on to graduate alongside Prince William at St Andrews University with a Masters degree in art history.
Reports in the UK suggest that the Duchess was consulted about the letter and granted permission for it to be revealed to the public.
She is expected to return to Centre Court to take in a game with her sister Pippa before leaving for her first official royal tour of Canada and the US with Prince William, which commences on June 30.
