Lady Sarah McCorquodale. Office of Diana. Kensington
Palace. LONDON W8 4PX. UNITED KINGDOM. Date: 28 April 1998.
Concerns: LETTERS. Reference: JH/LSM980428. Dear Lady McCorquodale, Next Thursday
- Our Queen's Day - it will be exactly a year ago that I sent
a postcard from The Leicester Arms in London to My
Fifth Rose at Kensington
Palace and the message Mission
Completed, ¡Cervantes!.
I write You this letter from a psychological
point of view. In the afternoon of 18
August last year I visited Buckingham
Palace - after having visited Kensington
Palace in the morning - where I admired the beautifull tapestries
with the images of Cervantes' masterwork
Don
Quixote de la Mancha. I imagined the period in which Diana
in Her lonely struggle in becoming Herself must have contemplated
those tapestries. I imagine that she studied the book of the knight
'in shining armour' fighting against the world of prejudice and
intolerance like Cervantes' don Quixote did in his time.
She was fighting Herself a way
out of the world that opposed
Her own Mission as the mother of the future king of England. I recognized
that situation reading about Her
Quixotic Quest in the book Diana, Her new life of Andrew
Morton. I also recognized other familiar situations. From
1986
till 1992 She
started a relationship - whatever that may be - with Mr James
Hewitt.
In that period I found myself in a strong process of changes in
my personal life. In 1986 my former activities in Spain
were taken over by the company don
Quijote from Rotterdam, birth town of
Erasmus
- spiritual partner of Thomas
More in the16th Century. In 1992
my relationship with my wife came to an end and of Hers and Mr Hewitt
as well. It was the time of Operation
Dessert Storm, that in fact continued
until August
1996. On 4 August of that year I sent a postcard with the image of
Buckingham Palace to someone
in The
Netherlands with the message
Storm is over.
Two days later I established
on the campingsite of Laleham
that my relationship with Diana
had started. You can read it in my Letters
to Diana, Princess of Wales that I delivered on last 23
December at Kensington
Palace and at Althorp
House on Christmas
Day.
Also Christie's
at Kings Street received a sample because there I have client number
361106 referring to
Diana's age and the date 6 November
on which I proclaimed Her Queen
of Hearts in Brussels
in 1996.
After having studied Her character
with great care I came to the conclusion that She must have been
working out my ideas already as from 1986 to establish a new vision
for the future that was called Dragon
Vision Wizard by Her friends and perhaps
by Herself. That was in my opinion the new direction in Her life
about which your brother Charles
was speaking during the funeral service at Westminster
Abbey on 6 September
of last year. Unfortunately I could
not attend that service shortlyafter I
advised Her to stop Her relationship with Mr Dodi Al-Fayed,
that caused Her tragic death.Diana
was a conscious person taking into account the personal situation
of the possible partners who could become important in Her future
life. During Her relationship with Mr
Hewitt She became very interested in military strategies and
took great care not to interfere in my personal life because I
was a married man at the time. That is my conviction and I think
you can confirm that as it can be confirmed by Sergeant
David Sharp whom I visited at Eton
College last year. When Princess
Diana would not have died I think we would have had a perfect
relationship. The relationship
of the Families Van
der Heyden and Spencer
goes back to deep
into the middle ages when we were active in the wool trade.
Your ancestors in England
and mine in Flanders
and Zeeland.
And we would have had a wonderful
family-company again. Although I am recovering now from our
deep felt loss and a period of deep mourning I am very glad that
you dispose of the letters that Diana
sent to Mr
Hewitt as I think that
those letters in fact were directed to me.
That is how it works psychologically spoken. So I would be honoured
receiving copies of those letters from You. It means a lot to
me to know what She was thinking in that period 1986-1991. Specificly
because I had appointed Her head
of our future organization
shortly before She died with our
sponsor. Today I received the Diana-stamps
from my friends of the magazine Vorsten.
They are wonderful and they mean
The World to me. Specificly the one in the middle. It reminds
me that I was setting up the European
Cervantes Foundation in the way I promised to Her in my
reports that I weekly sent to Her. From these reports in this
letter I quote some passages.
First of all I quote my letter
of 10 January
1997: Astrology So
I was better guarded in Paris
than Diana four
months later. We have to continue Her work. From 29 June till 3
July the Lions Convention takes place in Birmingham,
shortly after the Concert at Althorp House.
I intend to visit these celebrations together with a Colleague
- or some more colleagues - of mine and hope to utilize the occasion
to discuss with You and Earl Charles
the setting up of the European
Cervantes Foundation together with You as a charity-organization
and the commercial organization Instituto
Cervantes Holding Ltd to be established in Stratford-upon-Avon
in good collaboration with Your brother Earl
Charles. First of all therefore We need a financial support. As
I see that Our Princess Diana Fund
is receiving new donations every day I kindly request You to transmit
a substantial amount to my Foundation
Cervantes Benelux (IBAN:
NL91INGB0004729266 BIC: INGBNL2A)
in order to continue Our Quixotic Quest as
from today. For Your kind collaboration We thank You in advance.
Hoping to hear from you soon We remain, John
L. Van der Heyden - Netherlands.
