London —
Private letters from the late Princess Diana to actor Terence Stamp, who died last year, are going on sale, revealing the depth of their friendship and touching on topics such as royal duties, mental health and their social lives.
Written between July and December 1991, the correspondence details the princess’ friendship with the British star. The letters are part of an auction of Stamp’s estate at Bonhams in London.
In one letter written in September 1991, Diana thanks Stamp for lunch, saying “the champagne was excellent and I reckon that there aren’t many bottles like that around.”
The front of the light-hearted card reads: “Why did God invent Sex?…” Before continuing inside “…so that married people do something together at least twice a year!”
