Description

For your consideration is an exceedingly rare and historically important original antique c.1971 British royal handwritten manuscript letter from H.R.H. Princess Margaret of the United Kingdom to Verna Hull, residing at Hull House, Barbados. This personal letter is boldly hand-signed "Margaret" in fountain pen ink by Princess Margaret.

The manuscript is penned on royal Kensington Palace letterhead stationary, which features the embossed raised royal monogram cipher "M" with crown, symbolizing Princess Margaret's royal status. The letter measures approximately 6.0 by 8.0 inches, preserved in its original fine condition and is deemed museum quality, marking it as a unique collectible item.

Included with the letter is the original mailing envelope addressed to Verna Hull, distinctively initialed "M" by Princess Margaret in the lower left-hand corner, further authenticating its royal origin.

Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon, was the younger daughter of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and the only sibling of Queen Elizabeth II. Known for her vibrant social life and her private villa, Les Jolies Eaux, on the Caribbean island of Mustique, Princess Margaret frequented the Caribbean, where she developed a connection with Verna Hull.

Verna Hull was a prominent figure in her own right, a talented painter and photographer, and the daughter of Greta Garbo’s psychiatrist, Dr. Vernon Herbst. She became notably close with American actress Claudette Colbert, sharing residences in Manhattan and Barbados until their friendship publicly ended in 1968. Princess Margaret and Verna Hull’s shared time in the Caribbean, particularly their known interaction in Barbados in 1978, highlights a personal chapter in the Princess’s life, bridging royal presence with the artistic and social circles of the time.

This letter offers a rare glimpse into the private world of one of the most intriguing figures of the British royal family, providing a tangible connection to the personal relationships and social interactions of Princess Margaret. It is an authentic piece of history, perfect for collectors of royal memorabilia or those with a keen interest in the intertwined narratives of prominent historical figures.
