Queen Elizabeth, then 38, describes newborn Prince Edward as 'good as gold'. READ MORE:An unearthed letter handwritten by Queen Elizabeth II to her midwife in 1964 reveals the monarch as a doting mother following the birth of Prince Edward.
The letter will be sold at the Eppli auction house in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, Germany, on 28 October.
