Princess Diana: The Person

Ask me a question, or leave
me a comment.

The late Princess Diana, the person,

was revealed through her letters.



Letters and cards written by her

were auctioned in London.



They disclosed how she liked

opening gifts early.



Her uneasiness in handling the

media was divulged.



"Of course I opened your present!"

Diana wrote in a letter on June 28,

1985. "I have never been able to

keep a parcel until the big day and

I am not going to start at 24!"



The letter was to Janet Filderman,

her hair-dresser.



The dozens of letters were dated

from 1984 to 1990.



"I wish that I could cope with the media

and peoples thirst for knowledge of us,

but after six years I find everything that

much more of a struggle and just cannot

see a light at the end of the tunnel,"

Diana wrote to Filderman.



As we saw, Princess Diana learned

to work with the media.
