Even though Princess Diana passed away several decades ago, millions of people around the world still miss her. The world was shocked by her unexpected death, and her funeral is still one of the most watched television broadcasts in history.
Diana had a difficult time adjusting to life in the Royal Family because Charles and Camilla’s marriage was almost completely destroyed by their affair. Diana, however, was also said to have been involved in an affair at the same time.
The “People’s Princess” had no qualms about disclosing specifics about royal family life and what she believed to be unfair treatment. A number of Diana’s letters have recently been rediscovered or found, and two more are currently up for auction.
This time, we get to see a side of Princess Diana that most people are probably not too familiar with. That is to say, she displayed her naughty side after writing the King of Greece letters that undoubtedly shocked the late Queen Elizabeth and a number of other royals.
The Royal Family was never easy on Princess Diana. Following their meeting and subsequent marriage to the then-Prince Charles, the couple’s relationship deteriorated.
It is said that the late Queen Elizabeth II made numerous attempts to keep Diana and Charles’ union intact. The late queen wrote to the couple just one month after Diana’s notorious BBC interview aired, pleading with them to finalize their divorce.
Princes Diana’s letters.
Katie Nicholl, a royal expert and author, claims that Queen Elizabeth recognized the “damage it was causing to the monarchy as an institution” and that its reputation needed to be preserved.
Diana and Charles were finally divorced. Dodi Al Fayed, an Egyptian film producer who also passed away in the same car accident as Diana later in the same year, and the princess fell in love.
While she was a member of the royal family, Diana is known to have received a lot of letters. In February, two brand-new letters went up for auction and brought in $169,663. They make her real feelings about the divorce she and Charles were going through known.
The 32 “emotionally” raw letters were written by Diana to her two friends, Susie and Tarek Kasseem, during the acrimonious breakup, according to the Mirror. Diana claimed that the divorce settlement had left her “on my knees” and that she had suspicions that someone had bugged her phone on behalf of the royal family.
On April 28, 1996, one of the letters—which included previously unpublished information—was written.
Because of how she was feeling mentally, she said she had to cancel a trip to Italy and apologize to her friends.
“I am going through a very difficult time, and pressure is mounting and coming from all directions. Sometimes it’s too hard to keep one’s head up, and today I am just wishing for this divorce to happen because the potential cost is so high,” Diana wrote.
A few weeks later, Diana sent another letter, saying, “I don’t have a mobile, so it’s difficult to discuss personal issues because my lines here are always being recorded and passed on.
“I never would have given my consent if I had known a year ago what I would go through during this divorce. It’s hopeless and disgusting. ”.
Diana and Charles were advised to divorce by Queen Elizabeth.
Diana also expressed her gratitude to the couple for allowing her to stay with them over Christmas in 1995 while Harry and William spent the holiday with Charles at Sandringham.
The letters brought an estimated $110,000 at auction. Susie and Diana’s charitable organizations would receive a portion of the sale’s proceeds. On December 18, 1995, Charles and Diana were advised to get a divorce by the queen. Diana added another letter to the collection of soon-to-be-auctioned letters the following day.
Princess Diana wrote in a letter to the Kassem family, “I may have been called a butterfly, but I don’t want to fly away from this loving family.
I’m deeply moved by how protective you both are of me. I’m not used to that, she continued, noting that she had never experienced the love and support of a married couple. ”.
The letters are “truly astonishing,” according to Mimi Connell-Lay of Lay’s Auctioneers. ”.
The Mirror quoted her as saying, “Susie met Diana at the Royal Brompton Hospital, and it is obvious that they clicked straight away; Diana says as much in one of her letters.
“They had a very strong bond, and what is obvious is how much Diana valued their friendship, support, and advice at a time of great emotional turmoil for her. ”.
She frequently discussed her divorce and the lack of support from the Royal family, according to Connell-Lay, who also noted that she wrote extensively about her personal experiences at the time. ”.
Tragic passing of Princess Diana.
Diana’s car was involved in an accident in Paris, France’s Pont de l’Alma tunnel at approximately 12:23 am. Although she was given extensive care on the scene by medical personnel, she experienced cardiac arrest in the ambulance.
By six minutes after two in the morning, Diana had arrived at the hospital.
She underwent an X-ray when she got to the hospital, which showed she had suffered serious internal injuries. She consequently got a blood transfusion right away.
Diana’s passing was a tragedy for the country. A person caught in the chaos just stepped forward recently.
Diana experienced a second cardiac arrest 15 minutes after arriving at the hospital. The task of trying to save the princess fell to surgeon MonSef Dahman, who was employed by a hospital in Paris at the time of Diana’s passing. Diana’s injuries were too severe for surgery, despite their best efforts.
Her heart simply would not beat again.
In a detailed interview with the Daily Mail, Dahman said, “We tried electric shocks several times and, as I had done in the emergency room, cardiac massage.
Adrenalin had been given by Professor Riou. But we were unable to restart her heartbeat. ”.
Diana’s survival was fought for by Dahman and his medical staff. But ultimately, there wasn’t much they could do. He said that saving people brought in made him “happy and proud” and that the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital was one of France’s best facilities for these kinds of emergencies. ”.
Diana worried about a murderous plot.
When it came to Diana, he initially felt hopeful. They tried to save her, but ultimately failed.
Paul Burrell, Diana’s former butler, had saved some of the letters, and in 2003, a number of new ones surfaced. Reading them was quite unsettling.
She had warned him of a plot to kill her in a car crash just ten months before she passed away, telling him to keep her letters “just in case.”. Diana, according to reports, thought that Prince Charles was planning to remarry because of her death.
Ten months before she was killed in the fatal car accident, she made a death prediction.
Many people have questioned whether the collision was an accident over the years. Diana wrote that “brake failure and serious head injury” would cause her death. ”.
“I’m wishing someone would give me a hug and tell me to keep fighting and hold my head high as I sit at my desk in October. According to the letter, which was first published by Daily Mirror in 2003, “This stage of my life is the most dangerous.”.
“XXXXX is planning to cause serious head injuries and brake failure in my car during a “crash.”. ”.
“I have been physically and mentally abused by a system for the past 15 years, but I feel no resentment. I am a strong person on the inside, and perhaps that is a problem for my enemies.
“I want to thank Charles for subjecting me to such misery and for allowing me to benefit from what you did to me.
”.
Paul Burell’s former position as butler.
At the time, the newspaper claimed to know the identity of the name that was blacked out but would not reveal it due to legal considerations.
In hindsight, I should say that the letter’s content has bothered me ever since she passed away,” Burrell told the newspaper.
Burrell, who recently discussed why he thinks Prince Harry wed Meghan Markle, stated that it was his decision to reveal the contents of the letters following his 2002 trial, in which he was accused of stealing them.
After Diana died, he informed the queen that he had taken many of her papers for safekeeping, which led to the trial’s abrupt end.
At Highgrove House, Burell started working for Charles and Diana in 1987 and remained there until the princess’s death in 1997. Apparently, Diana once told him he was the “only man” she trusted.
Burrell wasn’t a bad person, but Harry and William’s relationship with him changed when Harry, then 19 years old, went to work as an unpaid farmhand in Australia.
Burell, a former butler, has been very candid about his time spent in the royal family and his friendship with the late princess. However, his bond with her children broke down in 2003.
Burrell published several private revelations in his 2003 book A Royal Duty, which infuriated Harry. Asserting Burrell of “a cold and overt betrayal,” Harry and William even issued a statement. ”.
Harry was enraged with the former butler who served his mother.
Paul suggested that they meet with Harry and William to discuss his book in response. In addition, he wanted to fill them in on the aspects of their mother’s life that they had missed.
He continued, “I’d love to let them know what’s on my mind.”.
Harry and Paul had a falling out ever since. Harry scolded his mother’s former butler in Spare, accusing him of “milking” his mother’s passing to make money. The publication of A Royal Duty, according to Harry, “made his blood boil.”. ”.
Harry recalled that at the time, the Palace had sent him a package informing him of the “delicate matter.”. ”.
“Mummy’s former butler had written a tell-all that revealed nothing. It was just one man’s self-justifying, self-centered account of what happened. This butler used to be a close friend of my mother’s, and she had complete faith in him. We also did. This, now,” Harry said.
He was profiting off of her disappearance.
My heart pounded as a result.
”.
In addition, Harry said he intended to take a plane back to the UK so he could “confront” Paul Burrell right away. In the end, he was convinced otherwise by his father and brother.
Burrell was quick to refute the assertions made in Harry’s book. The former butler claimed in a video from his Florida home that Harry has “changed fundamentally” and that his mother would be “appalled.”. ”.
Princess Diana’s naughty letters.
What I see now is a spoiled, irate prince who is constantly blaming others and refusing to accept responsibility for his own actions. ”.
Diana would be upset by these insensitive revelations, he continued, because they not only put Harry and his family at risk but also his country, his family’s institution, which his mother was extremely proud of, and his late grandmother’s legacy. ”.
There aren’t as many Diana-written documents as one might imagine. Of course, there are. Two greeting cards that Princess Diana had sent to King Constantine II of Greece earlier this year went up for auction in May, according to the Mirror.
They demonstrated a lighter, more frivolous side of Diana by including several sexual allusions.
And her signature was on the cards, along with handwritten notes.
The front of the first card featured a naked man leaning against a tree. It said, “Adam came first….
Males always act in this manner.
”.
The message on the second greeting card Diana sent asked, “What is the definition of the Perfect Man?” and featured a picture of a naked woman.
The reply was, “A midget with a 10″ tongue who can breathe through his ears!”.

The last Greek king, Constantine II, was close friends with Diana. The princess’s signature on the cards he received from her said, “Dear Tino, lots of love from Diana. ”.
Cost $7000 to sell.
“Dear Tino, proudest love as always, from Diana,” read the second. ”.
At Dominic Winter Auctioneers’ auction house, they were put up for auction in May and sold for $7,000 each.
The cards don’t celebrate a birthday, Christmas, or christening, so the auction house speculated on their website that the purpose of sending them was likely just for fun.
“Diana must have seen these cards and thought of Tino before purchasing and sending them, perhaps motivated by a discussion they had at some social gathering. ”.
Diana, Princess of Wales, rest in peace. Please spread the word about this article on Facebook in her memory.
