Context and other lots

The documents are sold against the backdrop of Diana's Nov. 20, 1995 Panorama interview, secretly filmed at Kensington Palace and famous for candid revelations including "there were three of us in this marriage." She and Charles had separated in 1992; their split was announced in December 1995 and divorce finalized in August 1996. Diana died following a car accident in Paris in 1997 at age 36. The sale also features a signed 2011 portrait of Kate Middleton and Prince William, former Christmas cards from Queen Elizabeth and a 2025 royal cushion bearing King Charles and Queen Camilla's cypher.
