A collection of letters written by Princess Diana about her children Princes William and Harry are to be sold at auction today for an estimated £15,000.
The six handwritten notes were sent to Cyril Dickman, a steward at Buckingham Palace for more than 50 years, in the 1980s and 90s and are described as "the private letters between a trusted butler and the royal family".
