  A renewed focus on historical royal documents has brought attention back to a collection of handwritten letters associated with Princess Diana, Princess of Wales. These letters, which first emerged publicly through an auction listing in 2004, continue to serve as a valuable reference point for understanding her personal perspective during pivotal moments in her life.

The new bodyguard steps into the music room and finds little William on a piano bench, frowning: “I’m not a nuisance.” Diana sweeps in barefoot, laughing, kisses his head—“They’ve told you that, have they?” Titles dissolve.
