Dear ___
Thanks for the first bill- much appreciated. I enclosed a letter
for Mark Floyd just to
congratulate him on his return to racing & his win the first
time out. Could you please
pass it on to him. How is Allibar? I hope he isn't requiring constant
application of
tranquilizers which I noticed was one of the items on the bill!
My professional advisor
(Camilla) tells me that it was probably needed before being turned
out - the field.
I am taking a bicycle to Balmoral tomorrow to get fit for Oct..
and hope that I can come
riding out on Oct. 16th, 17th, 18th, and 20th and 23rd - would

Now that I have a new house down the way, I shouldn't be too badly
placed for Landborn
on the odd occasion. Love to Judy
As ever, Charles

In this seven page letter written on official Windsor Castle paper dated June 8, 1980, Charles writes to a girlfriend Janet Jenkins from Montreal, Canada.
Dearest Janet,
I fear this is somewhat belated, but it still comes with affectionate
birthday greetings
and in the hope that you will forgive me for being unable to find
a suitable card!
This time of year is unbearable from the point of view of everything
happening at once
and - the most hectic- I seem to have another slate of annoying
speeches in the last month
or two and so I apologize for appearing to be thoroughly useless
over remembering your
natal day. I told you long ago I wasn't a very helpful person
to know!
It was splendid to hear you on the telephone, but sad to miss
you while I was in Canada
My new private secretary is horrified by the idea of ladies in
hotels during foreign tours,
so, even if you had been in Canada and able to come to Vancouver,
I daresay I would
have had a frightful struggle! I can see that I shall just have
to get married as soon as
possible and then all these people might relax a little...!
I do hope you have recovered from the traumatic business of marriage
& divorce in
such a short time. Thank goodness you discovered the mistake early
enough and didn't
start a family.
Starting a family & making a mistake like that is frankly,
something which concerns
me enormously and I think my solution of marrying a girl form
each commonwealth
county is the best one!
Don't worry- whatever happens I will make sure you are given early
warning----
Let me know if you are ever coming
back over this way and do take care of yourself - an
don't do anything rash!
With much love and many happy returns of that special day,
from Charles
This letter from a man who, within a year, we are to believe, found, fell in love with and became engaged to the woman he would spend the rest of his life with? Really! Diana was like a lamb unknowingly being led to slaughter in 1980.
This letter comes with the original, hand written, postmarked envelope. $7,500.00 Order
SOLD This 28 year old letter dated November 10, 1981 was written to a friend of Diana's during the early months of her pregnancy with Prince William. She writes, "I don't like complaining but it's not that great at the moment". She continues later in this three page letter, "Hubby is going around on a cloud saying how marvelous & clever he is - I spend a lot of time reminding him that I'm the one carrying it!- but it doesn't seem to make any difference.- sigh! It is signed ," Very much love from Diana."
It is sad to think of this young, beautiful, vibrant girl leading such an unhappy life when things could and should have ended so differently. I often wonder what Prince Charles thinks when he hears, reads about or sees Diana on TV which is inescapable since a day doesn't go by in either England or the US with out the mention of her name. $22,000.00 SOLD
SOLD You are looking at a rare piece of history. This bracelet belonged the most famous women of all time.Imagine owning and wearing a piece of jewelry once belonging to Princess Diana. As we all know, Diana loved children. One of her favorites was the daughter of a good friend, who she invited to be in her wedding . She loved this little girl and stayed friends with her until her death in 1997. After many of her visits, Diana would send her little gifts and note cards. Diana had a collection of enameled bracelets she wore all through her teenage years. After many visits, she would select a bracelet and send it to her little friend. A British magazine did an article last year on her bridesmaids. I quote from the article, "I got to know all the other bridesmaids and page boys and we had a lot of fun, although I don't see any of them now. I remember going down to Highgrove and she (Diana) showed me all over the house. We went into the kitchen and she said, "Here's the cupboard where the biscuits are kept. If you ever feel hungry, help yourself." In her bathroom, she had a lot of enameled bracelets and each time I visited she would give me one. I was so thrilled to have some grown-up jewelry. This one bracelet is being offered with the gift tag. Along with the bracelet and the gift tag, you will receive a copy of the British magazine carrying the story of her bridesmaid who fondly remembered Diana, the woman she used to call her big sister. This green cloisonne bracelet is one of five bangles sent to her little bridesmaid. It comes with a little note cards which reads, " Very much love, Diana". The little note has been kept for over 26 years. Remember, this isn't a gift purchased. This was Diana's bracelet. SOLD
SOLD - This 28 year old hand written letter from Princess Diana is dated December 8, 1981. It is on official royal stationary. It was written to one of her bridesmaids who was away at school. She writes:
Dearest ____
What a lovely letter you wrote to me- Thank you very much for
writing. I wondered why
I hadn't heard for you for a while.
School must be nearly finished & Christmas is in sight - What
have you asked for?
(Can;t read) came and had lunch here as your father was racing.
She was very well as I
hadn't seen her for ages. It was lovely to see her.
I am sorry to hear about your eye and hope by now, they are better.
I am afraid school
tends to be like that & definitely take no notice of Sandi.
She doesn't sound very grown
up.
Hope to see you soon. Until then take care & very much love,
Diana
It is hard to believe 28 years have past since the wedding. $17,500.00 Order
