Two letters Princess Diana wrote in the year before her death previously went up for auction.
In one, written around Christmas 1996, Diana heartbreakingly wrote that she hoped 1997 "will be an easier year for us all."
The Princess of Wales had just finalized her divorce from Prince Charles on August 28, 1996; on August 31, 1997, she died at age 36 in a Paris car crash.
Just months ahead of her tragic death in an August 31, 1997 car crash in Paris—when she was just 36 years old—Princess Diana was looking ahead to the future in an unearthed letter.
Diana had separated from her husband Prince Charles in 1992; finally, on August 28, 1996—just 368 days before her death—they finalized their divorce. Eight months before the accident that took her life, Diana wrote a "highly personal" letter just before Christmas 1996, where she wrote, heartbreakingly, that she hoped 1997 "will be an easier year for us all," per Vanity Fair.
