Princess Diana: Never-before-seen letters that contain shocking revelations to be sold for £90,000

Prince Diana and the then Prince Charles’ divorce was quite the event in the UK and caused quite a stir. It seems that more insider details about her life with Charles have been unveiled and the latest comes from handwritten letters Diana had sent to her friends.

Private letters for sale

As reported by The Telegraph, Princess Diana had sought out support during her divorce from the future King. She had confided in Susie and Tarek Kassem and the latter had a total of 32 letters from the late Princess.

The Kassems decided to put the letters up for auction as having them was ‘a great responsibility’ and they did not wish to give that responsibility to their children or grandchildren. However, according to Hello Magazine, the couple has kept their most confidential and personal letters to themselves.

All 32 letters are being sold individually and are priced at around £90,000. The proceeds from each sale will go towards a variety of charities that Princess Diana supported.

Letters about her divorce

One of the most shocking letters in the collection dates back to April 28, 1996, where Diana wrote her true feelings about her divorce from then Prince Charles.

In the letter, she talks about the ‘pressure’ she’s receiving and that she is struggling to stay positive and how she’s just hoping for the divorce to be finalised.

I am having a very difficult time and pressure is serious and coming from all sides.

It’s too difficult sometimes to keep one’s head up and today I am on my knees and just longing for this divorce to go through as the possible cost is tremendous.

It is noted that Diana’s handwriting gets worse as the letter goes on, despite her usual impeccable writing.

In another letter dated May 20, 1996, she writes about the fact that she believes her words are ‘recorded and passed on.’

She then goes on to write about had she known how things would’ve played out beforehand, she would never have ‘consented’ to the divorce.

If I’d known a year ago what I’d experience going through this divorce I never would have consented. It’s desperate and ugly.

The auction for Diana’s letters will be on February 16.
