The Princess And The Pain

She Hated Charles And Her Royal Cage.

DESPERATE Princess Diana — lonely and imprisoned behind Buckingham Palace walls — poured out her heart in secret letters to the only man she ever truly loved!

“I never knew what love was until I met you,” Diana told a dashing British Army Captain named James Hewitt in just one of more than 100 letters she wrote to the man widely rumored to be her younger son Prince Harry’s biological father!

“Until you came into my life, the pain was unbearable,” Diana wrote. “Charles and his family have turned their backs on me.”

James, a talented horseman, was hired by the royal family to give Diana riding lessons — and the illicit affair between them soon was off and running.

The love struck princess penned the letters to James during their five-year affair — and only The National ENQUIRER has obtained exclusive excerpts of their tender correspondence.

When James was serving as a tank commander in 1991’s Gulf War, Diana’s devotion reached a fever pitch as she fretted for his safety. She’d sometimes write him twice a day — and didn’t bother to encode the lust she felt for her military man.
