A HAND WRITTEN LETTER FROM PRINCESS DIANA TO LANCE CORPORAL OF HORSE, N. JONES, RHD/D. Dated April 25th, 1988, on Kensington Palace paper and envelope, registered 28th April, 1988 Buckingham Palace. Dear Corporal Jones, I so wanted to write and thank you very much for making the combat trousers and jackets for William and Harry - you made them up extremely quickly & I can't tell you how thrilled and excited they were. We have had great difficulty in removing their kit for such things as bath times and ideally the boys would like to sleep as a soldier!! It was extremely kind of you to have gone to so much trouble & this comes with our warmest possible thanks from the three of us. Yours sincerely Diana.
