RARE letter with Diana mentioning Charles

Item 3062 - This 26 year old one page, double sided letter on official Kensington Palace stationary was written by Diana on March 14, 1983 when she was three months pregnant with Prince Harry. She was unable to visit a friend as promised. She writes,

Dearest __________
It was so kind and thoughtful of you to realize that Wednesday would have been
difficult for me.
Believe it or not, I very much wanted to come but could not make up my mind to which
was most important.
Now that Charles has decided, I hopefully won't be in too much chaos, save chance!!
I just wanted to say Judy, how enormously touched we were by your concern & please
forgive us for not coming-
With fondest love, Diana

Diana had a difficult time with both her pregnancies. Imagine doing several royal engagements a day and not feeling well but having to have the "stiff upper lip" attitude and smile through it all! $20,000.00 SALE $12,500.00 Order

BRACELET ONCE OWNED BY PRINCESS DIANA, GIVEN AS A GIFT

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 light blue cloisonne bracelet is one of five bangles sent to her little bridesmaid . It comes with a little note cards which reads, " I thought you might like the blue one, Diana". The little note is somewhat soiled, having been kept for 26 years. Remember, this isn't a gift purchased. This was Diana's bracelet. SOLD

Dear _____
This is just to say how hugely I enjoyed yesterday's ride & also to say how much I
appreciate everything you have done to encourage me along the jumping road. It must
have been hell for you yesterday, wondering what was going to happen when I rode
Allibar for the first time on a racecourse- particularly as you had found the horse for me!
No doubt if something had gone slightly wrong there would have been several people
only too ready to leap on you and tell you you were mad, etc.....
So- I cannot possibly thank you enough for having confidence in me and making it
possible to have another of the greatest thrills in my life. I can't wait for the next chance
to ride old Allibar and do hope he is sound today..
Love, as ever , Charles
