Meet the red sweater and what one of Princess Diana’s last letters says: Lady Diana items to be auctioned on 26th anniversary of her death

Princess Diana left an indelible legacy and now, almost 26 years after her death, objects associated with her continue to arouse great interest. Some of these most significant examples will be found at the auction.

How much inheritance did Diana of Wales leave to her sons, Princes William and Harry?

One of the items that will go to the highest bidder is a letter written by the princess in which she expresses concern about her new single life and the need to reorganize her life after her divorce from then-Prince Charles.

In the letter, Diana explained her intention to resign from her position at the charity of which she is a patron. In his letter dated July 15, 1996, a month before the official separation, he indicated that he was unable to offer the required level of commitment due to the need to reorganize his life.

As reported by The Telegraph, the princess argued “personal circumstances, particularly my marriage to the Prince of Wales”.

‘Lunch of betrayal’, this is how Diana de Gales and Camila Parker experienced this unpleasant meeting for Carlos III.

“As you know, my personal circumstances, particularly my marriage to the Prince of Wales, have been the subject of detailed speculation in recent months and will soon be formalized in the usual legal way,” she explained, later adding: “While I look forward to the future with hope, I am also doing it with fear, because there are a number of problems that I will have to solve,” reads part of the text written by the princess.

The letter will be auctioned next September by Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies in Beverly Hills.

As the Look portal reports, the history of this item of clothing is quite interesting. Warm & Wonderful Knitwear, creators of the sweater, found it by accident in a small box a few months ago.

The same media outlet explains that Lady Di decided to return the sweater to the company after some seams came loose when it caught on her engagement ring. Instead of repairing it as she requested, the brand sent her a new one.

Because of this, the first sweater that the princess wore was stored in a box and will now go on the market. It is expected to be auctioned for a value of up to 80,000 euros.

This garment represents Princess Diana’s unique personality and is sure to be coveted by collectors and fans of her legacy.

In addition to these items, the auction organized by Julien’s Auctions and Turner Classic Movies in Beverly Hills will also include other pieces that belonged to the princess, such as three dresses worn by Diana, which have not been on public display for more than 30 years. (AND)
