ALS signed “Diana X,” one page both sides, 6.25 x 8, Kensington Palace stationery, December 21, 1996. Letter to Simon Barnes, in full: “I was enormously touched to receive your lovely present—I have not read ‘The Celestial Prophecy’ & I’m relying on you to alert me to these great books! Thank you so much for thinking of me at Christmas time—After all the changes that have taken place this year it’s marvelous of you to be so thoughtful. I hope 1997 will be a happy year for you—personally I can’t wait to get out of this one! Lots of love, Simon, & a huge heartfelt thank you for my book.” In fine condition. Barnes, a paraplegic who broke his back on a Territorial Army assault course at the age of twenty-one, developed a friendship with Diana through their shared efforts with the International Spinal Research Trust. Princess Diana and the Prince of Wales finalized their divorce on August 28, 1996, only a few months before this letter was written. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
