Charles' rare love letters sold for £20,000

SOME of the rare unseen love letters by Prince Charles to an early girlfriend, including one in which he says he
might marry the wrong girl, was sold for more than 20,000 pounds on eBay.
In one letter he spoke about marriage. He said: “Making a mistake like that is, frankly, something which concerns
me enormously.” In a seven-page letter, written on Windsor Castle headed notepaper in June 1980, he wrote:
“My new private secretary is horrified by the idea of ladies in hotel rooms during foreign visits. I shall just have to
get married as soon as possible and then all these people might relax a little! I still think my solution of marrying
a girl from each Commonwealth country is the best one.”
The letter is signed: “With much love, Charles.” One of the six notes to Janet Jenkins, a former receptionist at the
British consulate in Montreal, was written in 1980, a year before the Prince married the then Lady Diana
Spencer.
The other five letters were written in 1976 when the Prince was 26 and a Royal Navy officer on HMS Bronington
and Miss Jenkins was 30. In one he wrote of his fear of marrying the wrong woman. – TOI
