Intimate Princess Diana letters sell for £15,000 in London
Letters handwritten by the late Princess Diana, including one describing how her son Prince Harry was "constantly in trouble"(read here), sold for £15,100 ($18,600, 17,500 euros) at a London auction on Thursday.
The notes, described as "the private letters between a trusted butler and the royal family", went on sale at Cheffins auction house in central London.
The complete collection of 40 lots, including Christmas cards, a piece of cake from the Queen Elizabeth II's 1947 wedding and a note sent from the queen, achieved £55,000 in total.
Dickman was a much-respected figure in Buckingham Palace before his retirement in 1992, and is credited with helping Diana deal with the death of her father in the same year.
On his retirement, the princess wrote: "Cyril, you will be greatly missed by this particular Lady -- thank you from the bottom of my heart for being so kind to me throughout the years and take great care of yourself, fondest love from Diana x."
Dickman died in 2012, aged 85.
