No, I never have written a letter to Harry or William.

I have written to William as a teen, but got no responses.
Now I'm student teaching in a self-contained 2nd/3rd grade class, and I'm tempted to have the kids write a note to a royal of their choice, and I'd send them all out. The only issue is that this is a school in the States, and the kids may be more excited about writing to the president (not to mention I'm a little scared of the response my cooperating teacher would have for this type of activity).

Not 100% on topic, but...
...it does involve a letter to the Palace.
Once, as a travel agent, I was arranging a London trip for a local family, including a 2 year old child. When the doting grandmother came in to pick up her documents, she informed me that she had written a letter to then 2-year-old Prince William.
Her voice took on a cloyingly sweet tone as she described the letter: "and, William, you and I are the same age, and I won't have any playmates in London, and I'll bet we would have a lot of fun playing together, etc...". The gran was quite optimistic, even certain, that she would receive a letter inviting her and her grandson to tea at KP.
After she left the shop, we all burst into laughter. When she returned from her trip, I could hardly wait to ask her how it turned out. Amazingly, she was NOT invited to tea!

I wrote a letter to William shortly after the engagement was announced and received a response from someone in his office on Monday. It was a nice response saying William asked her to pass on his thanks for the letter. It came on nice paper with his insignia, the W with a crown over it. I think it's a nice keepsake! I'm thinking about writing to Harry next.

I got the same thing but I was over the moon to even receive something. I knew they must have had a heck of alot of mail to sort through so to even get a nice response like that was lovely and I'm quite grateful.

I haven't tried to write them but when I was in the 2nd grade we wrote to the President as a class project and we each got nice letters on White House stationary back - so I think it would be a cute project to teach small children about letter writing. But I see some people have said they tried and didn't get a response, so maybe Buckingham Palace doesn't answer mail of this sort - I think they'd have some sort of a form letter they'd send back. If you're talking about writing to one of them personally, however, they'll never see it - a secretary would probably handle this sort of thing.
Anyway, here's the link to where you can write them from the official UK site;

I sent a card with a note on it to The Queen Mother for her 100th Birthday and sent it to Buckingham Palace and did get a reply from her Lady in Waiting which was a nice note saying it was very appreciated. It was in a lovely embossed card and envelope. I still have it as it is precious
