20 years of royal Christmas memories up for sale
ROYAL Christmas cards covering the turbulent years from 1981 to 1998 are up for auction next week.
The cards show Prince Charles and Princess Diana, William as a child, baby Harry and the Queen and Prince Philip.
Others show the Queen Mother and Princess Anne's children Zara and Peter. A later card in 1998 shows the two young Princes a year after Diana was killed in a Paris car crash. The collection of 17 cards is expected to sell for £600.
Auctioneer Rupert Perry-Warnes of Duke's in Dorset said: "The cards were collected by a lady who used to work at Buckingham Palace.
"They were all given to her as a member of staff and are all handsigned."
