Unearthed letter written by Princess Diana
A newly revealed letter from Princess Diana, written just days after her 1981 wedding to King Charles, offers a glimpse into her early struggles as a royal. In the note to a Buckingham Palace footman, she thanked him for easing her loneliness during her stay, writing, *”My stay was made so much easier by your company as it was so terribly lonely.”* The letter, now up for auction, hints at the isolation she faced, with Diana later admitting in interviews that she felt unsupported by the royal family.
Despite her cheerful tone—joking about missing cereal and teasing her dresser—the letter reflects the challenges she endured. Her marriage unraveled due to Charles’ affair with Camilla, leading to their 1996 divorce. Diana famously told the BBC, *”There were three of us in this marriage.”* Tragically, her life was cut short in 1997, leaving behind Princes William and Harry. The letter serves as a poignant reminder of her warmth amid royal hardships.
