My Want List

If you have any of the following items and would like to sell them, please contact me at denisem4@mail2princess.com

Would like souvenir royal tour booklets which were locally produced and not intended for the overseas market. The list of books I already own includes several booklets of this type from Canada, Australia, and Kuwait, so if you have something from any country other than those three countries, or one from those countries which I do not already own, I am very interested. (I know there is at least one from Japan, but I keep getting outbid on ebay.) I would also like any souvenir booklets of their very first tour to Wales in 1981. And if you have any souvenir items commemorating any of the Wales' Royal tours (buttons, china, spoons, press books or passes, etc.), please contact me.

I am in great need of the 1998 and 1999 catalogs of the products that were for sale at Althorp those years. I have had questions from various persons who wish to know more about Althorp collectibles, and Althorp did not put the gift shop on their site till this past year. The gift shop page does not feature all products sold at Althorp and the product line usually has some changes each year, so it would be extremely helpful to have catalogs for 1998 and 1999.

Would like postcards of any portraits done during Diana's lifetime, especially the portrait of Diana in her wedding gown that hung in Kensington Palace. I already have the Bryan Organ portrait done in 1981 prior to her marriage and the John Merton triple face portrait that was commissioned in 1989 for the City Hall in Cardiff, Wales.

Videotape: Charles and Diana: a Royal Love Story. 1982. (Made for TV film starring Caroline Bliss as Diana and David Robb as Prince Charles, with Daniel Chatto, later husband of Lady Sarah Armstrong-Jones, as Prince Andrew.)

Videotape: Diana MTV Biorhythm. 1998. Aired on the first anniversary of her death.

Videotape: Diana Monogatori. 1986? (Japanese anime cartoon of the romance and wedding of Princess Diana. Mentioned under "Japan" in The Definitive Diana.)

Videotape: The Royal Romance of Charles and Diana. 1982. (Made for TV film starring Catherine Oxenberg as Diana, Christopher Baines as Charles, and Olivia De Havilland as the Queen Mother.)

Videotape: The Story of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. 1981. (Documentary.)
