Even decades after her death, Princess Diana continues to be mourned by millions around the world. Her tragic passing in a 1997 car crash in Paris, alongside her partner Dodi Al Fayed, sent shockwaves across the globe.
Diana’s marriage to Prince Charles was fraught with difficulties, largely stemming from his ongoing affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. Diana was also rumored to have had an affair of her own. She spoke candidly about the challenges she faced within the Royal Family, including the emotional strain and lack of support she endured.
In recent years, several of Diana’s private letters have resurfaced, shedding light on her inner turmoil during her painful divorce. In one letter, she described being brought “to [her] knees” by stress and expressed fears that her phone was being monitored by the Royal Family.
A touching letter from 1995 reveals her gratitude to friends Susie and Tarek Kassem, who supported her during a lonely Christmas when Prince William and Prince Harry were with their father. Diana described the couple as the loving family she never had.
Earlier this year, two more letters from Diana went to auction, offering a glimpse of her playful side. She had sent humorous greeting cards to former King Constantine II of Greece, filled with cheeky jokes and signed with warmth and affection.
The cards sold for $7,000 and highlighted a lighthearted, private side of Diana that few people ever saw. Despite the hardships she endured, Princess Diana remains cherished for her compassion, candor, and enduring humanity.
