A recently revealed letter from King Charles III written just four months after the death of Princess Diana has resurfaced, shedding light on the monarch’s deep grief and sense of loss. In the 1997 letter, Charles expresses his sympathy to a friend named Peter, also grieving the loss of “dear Liz.”
The handwritten note, up for auction at a starting bid of $2,000, was delivered to the recipient by hand at Charles’ instructions. In the letter, Charles writes of his heartfelt sorrow for Peter’s pain and the emptiness he felt following Diana’s tragic passing in a car accident in 1997.
Despite Charles’ well-known affair with Camilla Parker-Bowles during his marriage to Diana, the King’s letter reflects his deep fondness for the Princess and his belief in an afterlife. He quotes the Bible, emphasizing faith and the enduring memories of the deceased.
The auction house, RR Auction, plans to end the bidding on August 14. The letter offers a glimpse into the personal emotions of a grieving King Charles and the impact of Princess Diana’s untimely death on those closest to her. The touching sentiments shared in the letter continue to resonate with readers, reminding us of the enduring legacy of Princess Diana and the lasting impact she had on those around her.
