Princess diana’s letters about son harry auctioned
LONDON: A collection of handwritten notes by the late Princess Diana, one of which reveals that her younger son Prince Harry was constantly in trouble at school, went under the hammer on Thursday, selling for well above target prices. The six notes, sold at Cheffins auction house in Cambridge, were written to Cyril Dickman who served as chief steward of Buckingham Palace for over 50 years. Diana’s sons Princes William and Harry feature prominently. One message dated 20 September 1984, five days after Harry’s birth, reads: “William adores his little brother and spends the entire time swamping Harry with an endless supply of hugs and kisses, hardly letting the parents near!...” That note sold for 3,200 pounds, exceeding its estimate of 400 to 600 pounds. Another, from October 1992, which said that Harry was in trouble, was sold for 2400 pounds.
