Princess Diana had written a letter to the Metropolitan Police to thank him for entertaining her sons at Prince William’s seventh birthday.
The warm letter has been auctioned in the U.K. and the date on it shows it was written on June 21, 1989.
Diana sent the note to Sergeant George Plumb of Scotland Yard’s elite Close Protection Group to thank him for arranging a special motorcycle display for William’s 7th birthday.
The late Princess has her signature on the letter, also William and Harry had written their names at the bottom. In the letter, Princess Diana wrote: “Dear Sgt Plumb, It was so very kind of you and your team to have come here today on William’s birthday.”
“I cannot begin to tell you what pleasure the display gave to all those little people and their mothers!’’
“I know how particularly busy you all are at the moment, so it meant even more to us that you and the motorbike boys were able to take part in the birthday celebrations! This comes with our warmest possible thanks.
“Yours sincerely Diana, William, Harry.”
Diana’s Lady-in-Waiting, Ann Beckwith-Smith from St.James’s Palace sent another letter to Sgt Plumb’s boss – Chief Superintendent Wigglesworth thanking them for their service.
Beckwith-Smith wrote: “The Princess of Wales was enormously grateful to Sgt. Plumb and his team for ensuring that Prince William’s seventh birthday was such a very special occasion and the display was enjoyed by grown-ups and children alike.”
“Her Royal Highness was particularly grateful to the ‘team’ for being able to fit this is on a day already full of official engagements, which was not helped by the rail, underground and bus strike. It was greatly appreciated and I would be grateful if special thanks could be passed to all concerned, but especially Sgt. Plumb.”
William George & Co. auctioned the letters online and Robin Gray who is a managing director of it said that they have received a lot of interest in this sale already. The letter currently has a bid of $9,200, reported Harper’s Bazaar.
He said: “We are delighted to bring this rare item, signed not just by Diana, Princess of Wales, but also by her children, to market. Authentic, personal pieces such as this are much sought after and we have experienced a lot of interest in this sale already.”
