A tragic letter by Princess Diana in which she wrote of her hopes that 1997 "will be an easier year" for her has come to light as part of a collection of her confidential correspondence.
The Princess of Wales wrote the poignant note on December 17, 1996 - eight months before she was killed in a car crash in Paris.
The sombre tone of the two-page letter reflected the traumatic year Diana had just endured, having come through her divorce to Prince Charles.
In the letter the Princess revealed her intention to spend Christmas 1996 abroad "in the sunshine," jokingly adding "I will top myself if I remain here!"
As with Royal family tradition, William and Harry spent that Christmas at Sandringham with their father and grandparents.
