CHARLES III, as Prince of Wales, & Diana, Princess of Wales.

Inquire · Offered by Peter Harrington

Typed letter signed by both, thanking a contributor to a wedding present. In the months following their wedding, Charles and Diana write to thank a contributor for his donation to the Duchy of Cornwall's official wedding gift of a mahogany library table."Dear Mr Skam, We would both like to thank you very much indeed for your most kind contribution to the wedding present which the Duchy has given us. We really are delighted with the mahogany library table which will look splendid in our home at Highgrove and is exactly the right period for the house. We were also most touched to receive the balance of the gift in the form of a cheque with which we shall probably buy some more furniture. As you can well imagine, with two houses to equip from scratch we have quite a difficult task ahead of us! We have been completely overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity which so many people have shown to us, but as you will know we have a very special affection for the Duchy and all those who live and work in it and we therefore particularly appreciate your gift. We look forward very much to visiting the Duchy together in the future. [In Charles' hand:] Yours most sincerely Charles and [Diana's hand:] Diana".
