198816340928 March 1988. I still find it hard to understand why I survived and he didn't The future King Charles III writes with grief and shock after his close friend Major Hugh Lindsay was killed in an avalanche at Klosters in 1988 where Charles narrowly escaped with his own life. "Dear Mr. Marrington All I can say is that I was deeply touched by your incredibly kind thought in writing to me as you did following that appalling tragedy the other day. I have been utterly overwhelmed by the wonderful encouraging letters I have received and yours was particularly special and comforting. We shall all miss dear old Hugh quite enormously. He was a thoroughly special person and someone who won endless friends wherever he went. I still find it hard to understand why I survived and he didn't but that I suppose is part of the unfathomable mystery of our existence. Thank you more than I can say for such a wonderful letter. Yours most sincerely Charles". Hugh Lindsay was Equerry to Elizabeth II and a close friend of Charles. Charles and Diana regularly vacationed at the Klosters ski resort in Switzerland and in March 1988 were joined by Lindsay and others. An avalanche on the 14 March swept Lindsay off a precipice. Charles was on the same slope but avoided the avalanche. He afterwards was part of the group which dug out Lindsay who was pronounced dead on arrival after being airlifted to a Davos hospital. The event received worldwide media attention with Charles widely reported as being in shock. Much popular writing has placed the event as deepening the divide between Charles and Diana claiming that Diana blamed Charles for the event as he led the group down a challenging slope despite an avalanche warning earlier that day. Diana formed a close friendship with Lindsay's widow Sarah Horsley in the weeks following the disaster. The episode "Avalanche" in the Netflix series The Crown focuses on the disaster. The letter dated two weeks following the event and one week following Lindsay's funeral was written in response to the condolences of Robert Morrington 1900-1992 a long-serving member of the royal staff. Marrington served the Royal Family throughout his long life joining their staff in October 1925 and retiring in 1973 having served four monarchs. From 1939 he was tapissier in charge at Sandringham a position also held by his father. He remained in contact with the Royal Family after his retirement and the Queen sent a wreath to his funeral see notice in Lynn Advertiser 11 December 1992. Marrington collected various mementoes of the Royal Family including letters from Charles relating to the birth of Prince William and his marriage to Diana. These were sold by his family after his death with this letter appearing at auction in 2005 and gathering some press attention including coverage by the Daily Mail "Heartfelt letter from Prince Charles goes under the hammer" 9 June 2005. Typed letter signed 253 x 207 mm on the Prince of Wales's Kensington Palace letterhead. Light creasing from handling almost imperceptible adhesion on verso where formally mounted. A very good example. unknown
200516460021 April 2005. The marriage of Charles and Camilla The future King and Queen write to Tom Burnard Facilities Officer at the Guildhall in Windsor thanking him for his work on their wedding which he helped host 12 days earlier. Charles writes "Dear Mr. Bernard My wife and I wanted to write and express our heartfelt gratitude for your invaluable contribution to our wedding in Windsor on 9th April. The whole event would simply not have been possible had it not been for the extraordinary team of people with all their various skills and attributes who worked so hard and such long hours - not least when we had to defer the wedding from Friday to Saturday - to make the day the truly happy and uniquely memorable occasion that it was for us both and for all our guests. The seamless way in which everything worked to such perfection will be a permanent tribute to your professionalism and commitment alongside that of everyone else involved. This comes with our warmest best wishes and immense appreciation. Yours most sincerely Charles and Camilla". The wedding of Charles and Camilla was a deliberately low-key affair in the comparatively modest setting of Windsor Guildhall. It was the first time a member of the royal family married in a civil ceremony to avoid controversy over Camilla's previous divorce if a Church of England wedding was held and also likely reflecting concern over public hostility to Camilla in the aftermath of the breakdown of Charles and Diana's marriage. The wedding was delayed 24 hours - as the letter mentions - due to the funeral of Pope John Paul II. Typed letter 234 x 186 mm on stationery of the couple's Birkhall estate. With original envelope. Original folding creases from insertion into envelope and light handling creasing envelope roughly opened; in very good condition. unknown
19811646017 October 1981. We have quite a difficult task ahead of us In the months following their wedding Charles and Diana write to thank a contributor for his donation to the Duchy of Cornwall's official wedding gift of a mahogany library table. "Dear Mr Skam We would both like to thank you very much indeed for your most kind contribution to the wedding present which the Duchy has given us. We really are delighted with the mahogany library table which will look splendid in our home at Highgrove and is exactly the right period for the house. We were also most touched to receive the balance of the gift in the form of a cheque with which we shall probably buy some more furniture. As you can well imagine with two houses to equip from scratch we have quite a difficult task ahead of us! We have been completely overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity which so many people have shown to us but as you will know we have a very special affection for the Duchy and all those who live and work in it and we therefore particularly appreciate your gift. We look forward very much to visiting the Duchy together in the future. In Charles' hand: Yours most sincerely Charles and Diana's hand: Diana". Typed letter 329 x 201 mm Buckingham Palace embossed stationary at head. Slight handling creasing very good. unknown
