Princess Diana shared one exquisite habit with King Charles.

The former Princesses of Wales, who passed away in a car accident in Paris 1997, was a gifted writer just like her ex-husband, His Majesty.

Speaking on behalf of Casino.org, Diana’s former bodyguard, Ken Wharfe says: “Diana was a prolific letter writer.”

He shares: “I used to encourage her not to write quite so many letters, but I think it was part of her aristocratic upbringing. She'd been brought up to believe that if somebody showed you kindness or hospitality, you always wrote to say thank you.”

“She wrote constantly, and her letters were wonderfully warm and often very funny,” Wharfe adds.

He adds that Diana “was also very interested in current affairs,” adding that “she always wanted to know what was happening in the world and what was going on in politics.”
