Princess Diana's forgotten letter reveals what she wanted for Prince William and Prince Harry's future

A handwritten letter penned by Princess Diana nearly three decades ago is drawing fresh attention ahead of an upcoming auction. Written just days after her landmark BBC Panorama interview in November 1995, the note offers a rare glimpse into Diana's state of mind during one of the most turbulent periods of her life. While the letter touches on personal struggles and her hopes that the interview might help other women facing difficult circumstances, its most poignant passages focus on her sons, Prince William and Prince Harry. In a few carefully chosen words, Diana revealed what she hoped to teach her children as they grew up in the glare of public life.

The letter was written on November 27, 1995, just one week after Diana's famous Panorama interview with BBC journalist Martin Bashir. The interview captivated millions of viewers and became one of the most consequential moments in modern royal history.
