Sir: The editor of Majesty magazine, Nigel Evans, is mistaken in thinking that no one helped the Princess of Wales when she joined the Royal Family ("How to marry a royal (without ending up in therapy)", 15 February).
Even as a bride, Diana had four ladies-in-waiting (her mother, grandmothers and four great-aunts having all held such court posts at various dates). She was advised and guided by Prince Charles's Secretary and staff; Michael Shea, the Queen's Press Secretary, also gave her a lot of help.
In her Panorama interview, the Princess of Wales gave the impression that she had been suddenly plunged, quite unprepared, into an Australian tour, which did not, in fact, take place until two years after her marriage.
Yours faithfully,
Jennifer Miller
