Description

"Lady Diana" sends thanks for congratulations on her engagement to Prince Charles

TLS signed “Your sincerely, Lady Diana,” one page, 7.25 x 9.25, Buckingham Palace letterhead, April 28, 1981. Letter addressed in Diana's hand to "Dear Claire," in full: "I would very much like to thank you for your extremely kind letter of congratulations on my engagement and for the lovely drawing which you sent. Your kind thought was much appreciated." In very good to fine condition, with overall creasing. An uncommon and desirable variant of Diana's signature.

After a mere six months of dating, Diana and Charles announced their engagement on February 24, 1981. The fabled royal wedding took place at St. Paul’s Cathedral on July 29, 1981, before an invited congregation of 3,500 and an estimated worldwide television audience of 750 million.
