Charles, Prince of Wales

Autograph letter signed ('Charles') to Miss Marjorie Dawson, saying "Bless you for taking the trouble to write as you did in the wake of all the ghastliness that has being going on! I find it utterly incredible, as I have done nothing but show people like Paul Burrell every consideration over the years. Unfortunately we are now to be treated as mere pawns in a terrifying and ongoing media circulation war where the actual facts are totally disregarded and vast sums of money are offered as bribes to former and current members of staff to exercise their pathetic jealousies and vendettas in public. One member of staff has been offered a total of £5 millions by the newspapers in recent weeks", four pages, folding marks, 8vo, St James's Palace, 29th November 2002; with original mailing envelope.

***Marjorie Dawson was personal maid and dresser to Princess Alexandra for 36 years.
