Wrong?
Diana Spencer, in particular, explains that she relies on the manuscript for fear that her phone is being “constantly” tapped at Kensington Palace. And that the recordings of his private conversations be transferred to the royal family. He wrote on May 20, 1996. “Since I don’t have a cell phone, it’s difficult to discuss personal matters because my lines are constantly being recorded and transmitted here.” In the same letter, he admits. “If I had known a year ago what I would go through with this divorce, I would never have agreed to it. It’s hopeless and ugly.”

I am devastated and want this divorce over with
Lady Diana
Several other pieces have been released by the Cornish-based auction house. The letter, dated April 28, 1996, shows the desperation the princess felt at the time. While apologizing for canceling an outing with friends that would require too much effort, he writes: “I am going through a very difficult period, the pressure is serious and comes from all sides. Sometimes it’s too hard to keep your head up and today I’m devastated and I want this divorce over with because the potential costs are huge.” His writing is as exciting as it is revealing. as he approaches the last lines, his calligraphy deteriorates, the curves of the letters are less elegant, he tells. A mirror.
Shock trio
Another letter refutes what public opinion has hitherto believed. that the Princess of Wales would be alone at Kensington Palace in 1995; Christmas holidays. In fact, the Kasems (now in their 70s) invited him to their home before his sons William and Harry. The celebrations were spent with her father in Sandringham. Clearly touched by the invitation, Lady Dee is delighted at the prospect of attending this family reunion.
The princess, who tragically died a year after her divorce was finalized in August 1996, is outgoing with her friends, whom she cherishes. Referring to the Kasems, he wrote: “I may have been compared to a butterfly, but I don’t want to fly away from this loving family.” He continues with ease. “It’s nice to be a trio,” while expressing gratitude for feeling protected by his two friends. “I’ve never had so much support or so much love from a married couple.” The couple, who apart from friendship, did not hesitate to spoil him. flowers, meditation books and jasmine oil are among the gifts they give. Princess Diana’s epistolary treasure, buried for almost thirty years, is about to be resurrected and flown to the four corners of the world.
