Prince William’s feelings towards Harry revealed in unseen letters from Princess Diana
Collection includes insights into Diana’s royal

Personal letters from Princess Diana to her family’s former housekeeper have revealed an insight into Prince William and Harry’s childhood relationship.

Diana sent the previously unseen notes to Violet Collison, who she affectionately called Collie, the head housekeeper at Park House on Sandringham Estate where Diana spent her childhood years.

In one of the letters, she wrote: ““William adores his little brother and spends the entire time pouring an endless supply of hugs and kisses over Harry.”

The collection, being auctioned at Sworders in Stansted Mountfitchet, Essex, reveals a unique insight into crucial stages at the princess’ royal life.

Collie witnessed the births of four Spencer children, including Diana, and remained close with the family until her death in 2013 at the age of 89.

The correspondence spans from before her marriage to Charles, through to the early years of Prince William and Harry’s lives.

Collie was the head housekeeper to John Spencer, Viscount Althorp, and his wife, Frances Ruth Roche, at Park House on the Sandringham Estate and played a significant role in the Spencer household.

Diana grew up in the house, which was originally designed in 1863 for King Edward VII, and built on the Sandringham grounds.
