After her passing, numerous documents written by Diana were uncovered. Some of her letters touched on serious and even tragic topics, including one where she expressed fear that someone might be plotting to kill her.
Naughty Diana letters sold at auction
In May of this year, two greeting cards that Princess Diana sent to King Constantine II of Greece went up for auction, revealing a different side of her personality.
These cards, which included several sexual references, highlighted a humorous and lighthearted aspect of Diana. Both cards also had handwritten messages and her signature.
The front of the first card showed an illustration of a naked man leaning against a tree, with the caption, “Adam came first….Men always do!….”
The second card featured an image of a naked woman, accompanied by the message, “What’s the definition of the Perfect Man?” It was followed by the answer: “A midget with a 10″ tongue who can breathe through his ears!”

Constantine II, Greece’s last king, had a close friendship with Diana. The cards she sent him were signed, reading: “Dearest Tino, lots of love from Diana,” while the second one said, “Dearest Tino, proudest love as always, from Diana.”
They were put up for auction in May at the Dominic Winter Auctioneers auction house and sold for $7,000.
“The reason for sending these cards, other than as a bit of fun, is unclear as the cards do not celebrate a birthday, Christmas or christening,” the auction house stated on their website.
“Diana must have seen these cards and thought of Tino before buying and sending them, possibly inspired by a conversation they had had at some social gathering.”
William & Harry keeping Diana legacy alive
Prince William and Prince Harry have been vocal about their mother and the memories they shared with her before her passing. Both are working to honor her legacy, each focusing on philanthropic causes much like she did.
Prince William established the Earthshot Prize, awarded to five winners annually for significant contributions to environmentalism, while Harry launched the Invictus Games, an annual competition for military veterans.
Princess Diana was beloved wherever she went, and contrary to some beliefs that the US might not be interested, her visit there was incredibly well-received.
Recently, Prince William wrapped up his US visit, where he announced the Earthshot Prize nominees. Additionally, he chose to connect with everyday New Yorkers, taking part in activities like collecting oyster shells and mingling with locals and tourists. The 41-year-old even went for a run in Central Park.
Now, the Prince of Wales is drawing comparisons to his mother.
Royal expert Jennie Bond tells OK! Magazine how the future king has his mother’s charm.
“He has his mother’s easy charm”
She expresses surprise that he isn’t more well-known in the US.
“I must admit, I was surprised that he had been voted the most popular figure in the US, simply because I thought they were more driven by celebrity,” she stated. “On the other hand, in my experience, Americans love our royal family, and William is becoming the shining star of the monarchy, particularly with Catherine at his side.
“He has his mother’s easy charm,” Jennie Bond continued, “as well as her good looks and is both confident and fully immersed in the destiny he once viewed with some dread. He looks as if he is enjoying his role, and as the Earthshot Prize shows, he is determined to use his platform to engineer real change.”
We can imagine that Princess Diana is smiling down from above.
