Naughty Diana letters sold at auction
In May earlier this year, two greeting cards sent by Princess Diana to the King of Greece – Constantine II – went up for sale at auction. And they showed a side of her we haven’t seen before.
They featured several sexual references, portraying a funnier, more non-serious side of Diana. Moreover, the greeting cards included handwritten messages and her signature.
The first card’s front consisted of a naked man leaning on a tree. The caption read, “Adam came first….Men always do!….”
The second greeting card Diana sent showed a naked woman with a message that read, “What’s the definition of the Perfect Man?’
It was followed by the answer: ‘A midget with a 10″ tongue who can breathe through his ears!’”

Constantine II was the last king of Greece and became good friends with Diana. The cards sent to him from the princess were signed, reading: “Dearest Tino, lots of love from Diana.”
The second one said: “Dearest Tino, proudest love as always, from Diana.”
They went up for auction in May at Dominic Winter Auctioneers auction house, selling for $7,000.
“The reason for sending these cards, other than as a bit of fun, is unclear as the cards do not celebrate a birthday, Christmas or christening,” the auction house wrote on their website.
“Diana must have seen these cards and thought of Tino before buying and sending them, possibly inspired by a conversation they had had at some social gathering.”
William & Harry keeping Diana legacy alive
As mentioned, William and Harry have been very outspoken about their mother and the years they spent with her before she passed. They are keeping their mother’s legacy alive the best way they can, and in fact, both of them are focusing on philanthropic subjects, just like her.
Prince William created the Earthshot Prize, awarded to five winners each year for their contributions to environmentalism, while Harry created the Invictus Games, a yearly competition for veterans of war.
Princess Diana was loved everywhere she went, and despite many thought the US wouldn’t care, things turned out great when she visited.
Just days ago, Prince William finished his US trip, where he announced the Eartshot Award nominees. Moreover, he decided to spend time with ordinary New Yorkers and engaged in some activities, including collecting oyster shells and meeting and greeting locals and tourists. The 41-year-old even went on a run through Central Park.
Now, the Prince of Wales is being compared to his mother.
Royal expert Jennie Bond tells OK! Magazine how the future king has his mother’s charm.
“”He has his mother’s easy charm”
She is surprised that he isn’t more popular than he already is in the US.
“I must admit, I was surprised that he had been voted the most popular figure in the US, simply because I thought they were more driven by celebrity,” she said. “On the other hand, in my experience, Americans love our royal family, and William is becoming the shining star of the monarchy, particularly with Catherine at his side.
“He has his mother’s easy charm,” Jennie Bond continued, “As well as her good looks and is both confident and fully immersed in the destiny he once viewed with some dread. He looks as if he is enjoying his role, and as the Earthshot Prize shows, he is determined to use his platform to engineer real change.”
We’re sure that Princess Diana is smiling from the heavens.
Princess Diana died too young, but her legacy will live on forever.
