The six notes, which will be sold at Cheffins auction house
in Cambridge, were written to Cyril Dickman who served as chief
steward of Buckingham Palace for over 50 years.
Diana's sons Princes William and Harry feature prominently.
One message dated Sept. 20, 1984, five days after Harry's birth,
reads: "William adores his little brother and spends the entire
time swamping Harry with an endless supply of hugs and kisses,
hardly letting the parents near!..."
"The reaction to one tiny person's birth has totally overwhelmed
us and I can hardly breathe for the mass of flowers that are
arriving here!"
Another, dated Oct. 17, 1992 says how both young princes "are
well and enjoying boarding school a lot, although Harry is
constantly in trouble!".
Other items being auctioned by Dickman's family include letters,
cards, and photographs from other members of the royal family,
including Prince Charles, Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth and
Prince Philip.
The entire collection is expected to raise around 15,000 pounds
($18,500).
