Letters written by Princess Diana to close friends sold at Cornwall auction for £145,550

A collection of 32 letters penned by late Princess Diana have been sold at an auction for a whopping £145,500. The correspondence documents the last two years of the princess’ life, before her death in 1997.

Sold at Lay’s Auctioneers in Penzance, Cornwall, the letters were written by Diana to her two close friends Susie and Tarik Kassem, who have held onto the letters for more than 25 years. But feeling they didn’t want to burden their children and grandchildren, the couple decided to sell the letters to support some of Diana and Susie’s favourite charities.
