By Royal Appointment

A Letter From
Her Majesty The Queen
Buckingham Palace
London


Dear Mr Pietersen MBE,

Mr Pietersen, or may one call you KP. 
Mr KP, are you named after the crisps and nuts company by the way? my husband Phillip loves a nut.
Mr KP, may one formally request your attendance along with one's family and advisers at an event in London on 31st December at the postcode of EC3N 4AB, so as we can discuss what is commonly known (sorry I don't know too much about common issues) as the Ashes.

One understands from one's advisers that an Urn was taken from the shores of Australia many years ago during a cricket game and a long term battle then ensued between both nations to claim the Urn. Coincidentally, one also has a large number of pieces of art at one's little home in London which were acquired from all four corners of the world that for some reason have also caused an argument or two about their ownership.

Mr KP, did you know many members of the Royal family are also keen followers of sport, Phillip can often be seen driving a horse drawn carriage through streams, rivers and fields. I have no idea why, but he calls it sport. Charles and Camille can often be seen (they do not do anything, they are just seen) and one's grandson, the Duke of Cambridge often attends Wembley to watch the England football team. One was so proud that he was named as a Patron of the Football Association as this ensures two free tickets for every game and a trip to Brazil next year.

And you may have also one's daughter Ann at international rugby games supporting the Scotland team, she particularly enjoys the games when they beat England but One wonders if this is because her daughter Zara married the English player Matt Tindall.

But back to your sport of cricket and I must confess one knows little of DRS, ECB or LBW as it is all Greek or Latin to me,  and although one does speak Latin one is much more of a HRH & OBE kind of girl.

One therefore had to consult with Lord Bumble of Accrington who lives in the North of England, an area one's advisers inform one is where all the best cricketers were born.
Lord Bumble informed one that during this latest confrontation against one's fellow commonwealth nation that you were "absolutely crap".  He also stated that he often was heard on a TV media channel shouting "He's fallen for the trap again"  "Wots he doing" and "Get Terry on the Plane"
One's grandchild Harry then also asked me to look at this socialist (Have I said that correctly)  media phenomena called Twitter and the use of something called a HashTag. One did then observe twitter and constantly saw  #KPtoTheTower, which is obviously a reference to your poor performance.

One immediately asked one's advisors to check who was the last person to be put into the Tower and the reason for that decision. When the explaination was given one did laugh so loudly that the Royal Corgi's were woken up, did you know that the last persons sent to the Tower were the Kray Twins in1952 for failing to report for a national cause.  Ring any bells?

One then got in touch with this #GetTerryonThePlane chap for his views on your performance during this series and I have to say that even as charming and informative as he is, he was not very complimentary of you. Apparently he has given advice on a number of occasions which both you and your team mates have failed to consider. One's advisors tell me he could often be heard shouting to you  "aut vincere aut mori KP" As any of my subjectsin the UK, with even a basic understanding of Latin knows that means "Either to Conquer or to die"

So it is with regret that I command you to attend our little event and discuss with one's advisers your little trip to Australia,  did one mention that EC3N is the Tower of London. Apparently you have something called an Ego that would like to accompany you to our event. As one's advisers say "All are welcome" providing they have the right blood line.

Looking forward to seeing you soon

Your Unelected Head of State

The Queen


PS. Mr KP, one's advisers tell me if you add up all the occasions I have used the expression ONE, it is higher than your batting average so far. You really do need this #GetTerryonThePlane chappy to sort things out.
