Description

"Thank you for supporting me"—Diana celebrates the success of her 1997 Christie's dress auction

Brilliant color semi-glossy 6 x 4 appreciation card bearing a stunning image of Princess Diana and an adjacent memo field designed to appear like Kensington Palace letterhead, which Diana has signed and filled out in black felt tip, "Dear Kimmy, Thank you for supporting me. Fondest love, Diana, x." The card was sent to a limited number of Diana's close friends who assisted in her record-breaking Christie's charity auction held on June 25, 1997. In fine condition. Accompanied by the original envelope and a softcover copy of the Christie's auction catalog for "Dresses from the Collection of Diana, Princess of Wales." In the summer of 1997, Princess Diana auctioned off 79 dresses at Christie’s in New York City. The idea to sell the gowns for charity came from her eldest son, Prince William, and became one of the biggest social events of the year, raising $3.26 million for various AIDS and health-related charities.
