Over the decades, Queen Elizabeth's feisty corgis became famous not only for their loyalty to the Queen but also for their "cuddly" yet "psycho" antics around Buckingham Palace and beyond. Their playful nature often led to unexpected—and sometimes hilarious—situations that kept the royal household on its toes. One such encounter was documented in a memo to a royal photographer, and the note recently went up for auction in a rare lot of letters from the late Queen.
Auction house Hansons acquired a set of cards and letters from various members of the Royal Family that had been sent to photography expert Alan Maxwell, who helped develop the royals' film, order prints and select photos for their Christmas cards. A box full of prints, proofs, cards and letters from Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, King Charles and other members of the family was recently discovered 15 years after Maxwell's death.
