Description

Five days before her Christie's charity auction: "Watch out for the cross-dressers!"

ANS signed “Diana x,” one page, 6.25 x 4, Kensington Palace letterhead, June 20, 1997. A note to "Gerry," in full: "How typical of you to write. Thank you for the lovely things you said about those snaps. Those dresses go next week. Watch out for the cross-dressers! Lots of love & a large thank you for writing." In fine condition. On June 25, 1997, Christie's hosted a sale of 79 cocktail and evening dresses from Diana's wardrobe, which raised over three million dollars to benefit cancer and AIDS charities. Dating to only ten weeks before Diana's tragic death, this remarkable letter reveals both her commitment to charity work and her mischievous sense of humor.
