It is striking to me that in the holiday card you showed, it looks like Charles signed his own name; the handwriting is clearly different from the rest of the card. That says a lot to me; most cards I get, (even from my own parents!), have both names but are signed by just the wife. I really like that it was important to Charles to sign the card himself, if I'm looking at it correctly!
Thank you for sharing this experience and your analysis, Elizabeth!!
This is my favorite piece you’ve done so far, Elizabeth! I just loved Michael’s story about Diana wearing fabrics that would feel good and offer comfort to the person hugging her, and it’s fascinating to get this up-close glimpse of how Diana’s clothes were constructed and the wear they received. I also appreciated your Instagram coverage of the auction. Great work, thank you!
That is so kind, thank you, Kathleen! It is definitely one of my favorite newsletters. The chance to do the interview, see the pieces, take the pics — and then go to the auction today! Will remember this for a very long time. 💫
I would LOVE to see these things in person! How exciting. I wanted to comment on the 8.5 shoe---sizes are different in the UK, an 8.5 would be a 10.5 in the US....did you get any sense that it looked bigger than an 8.5? I noted the "Made in Italy", but in Europe they use different numbers, it would be like, 39 or 41.
Excellent point! I *think* one shoe other said 39? Which tracks. I wear a 7.5 and — while I absolutely did not put it near my foot — it did not feel that much bigger in my hand.
What an amazing day for you and to be able to see and touch things that she wore. I would imagine that your day also had a poignant feel to it. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Wow! What an incredible opportunity. I can imagine how thrilling this must have been, Elizabeth! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Simply amazing!
What an incredible experience for you Elizabeth! It’s so cool to see how different they are in person compared to the photos. I really think seeing the accessories would be my favorite part! Thanks for sharing!

Yes! I noticed that, too - on some, it’s just her name, on others he signed. But she never signed his name.
