Christmas card from 1991, sent to Lord and Lady Tryon, the famous aristocratic couple who had a long time relationship with the royal couple, 7 x 6 folded, opens to 14 x 6, embossed in gold on the outside with Prince of Wales’s feathers and Garter motto, as well as the Spencer family arms. Inside, the card bears a charming color satin-finish 5.25 x 4.5 family photograph of Charles, Diana, William, and Harry outside on a stone bench. Printed opposite the photograph is the sentiment “Wishing you a very Happy Christmas and New Year.” Charles has inscribed the card, “Anthony and Kanga…and much love from Charles and,” and Diana adding, “Diana,” at the conclusion. In fine condition, with mounting remnants to outside edges of front and back cover from previous display. Throughout the 70s and 80s, Charles had two intimate female confidants, one was Camilla Parker Bowles, and the other was Lady Tryon. Charles was once quoted as saying that the Baroness was ‘the only woman who ever understood me.’ An extremely rare offering as Charles has added a personal sentiment, understandable given the recipient. Accompanied by a full Letter of Authenticity from PSA/DNA.
