Hey there! Let’s take a trip down memory lane to the whimsical world of Prince Harry and Prince William when they were little boys. It’s easy to forget that these two, who now shoulder serious royal responsibilities, once had carefree childhoods filled with laughter and mischief. And who better to give us a glimpse into those magical moments than their mom, the late and beloved Princess Diana?

Back in 1990, Princess Diana wrote a heartfelt letter that gives us a peek into the holiday cheer of her young sons. In this letter, dated December 5, 1990, she shared how William and Harry couldn’t contain their excitement about Christmas. They were like any other kids, searching every nook and cranny for hints of incoming gifts. “The boys are thrilled at the prospect of Christmas on the horizon and have searched high and low for any parcels that might be coming their way!” she wrote with evident pride and joy.

A Letter Full of Warmth and Wisdom

This letter wasn’t just about Christmas cheer; it was addressed to Ivy Woodward, someone Princess Diana met while caring for Prince Charles during a hospital stay. Prince Charles had a broken arm at the time, and Ivy’s son, Dean, was recovering from a severe motorcycle accident. While Prince Charles’ injury wasn’t as life-threatening, Dean had been in a deep coma. Princess Diana, ever the compassionate soul, reached out to Ivy with kindness and understanding.

Advice from the Heart

Princess Diana didn’t just offer comfort; she provided thoughtful advice on navigating family dynamics. In her letter, she empathized with the challenges Ivy might be facing with Dean’s wife, Jane. “Maybe Dean’s lady feels resentment for not being able to cope with that situation back in August and that can produce guilt and in turn confusion arrived and people are hurt and now Dean has arrived home and she [Jane] has turned very possessive,” Diana wrote with insight. “You mustn’t worry about it as time will iron things out.”

Her words were not just a gesture of friendship but a testament to her deep empathy. Diana also acknowledged Ivy’s strength in bringing Dean back to health. “It was lovely to hear that Dean has improved so much but he wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for his mother and your determination and strength to get him back to full health again,” she added.
