I totally understand buying the Charles/Diana pieces. They "speak to their time". I remember getting up in the middle of the night with my younger sister to watch the wedding on live TV. I was 15 and it was a big deal. The spectacular flameout that happened later makes these rather sad. It doesn't increase their value, but they evoke memories.

She deserved better, nicer & someone who actually loved her & was loyal to her.

 

Sacrificial lamb, poor thing.
