After the divorce Charles and Diana became very close, actually having a very warm relationship. You can see the intense grief on Charles's face when he arrived in France to accompany Diana's body back to the UK. The same grief was present during her funeral. Both knew one another for a long time, even before they married. It was natural to feel the way he did, despite the stories from the media and his second son.

Except the letter wasn't about Diana, and she wasn't mentioned at all.

The article even says it's to an unknown man named Peter, but one of the facsimiles has his full name and address on it. I googled the man, and I think he's some kind of cancer researcher. It's a common name, though.

The letter may not mention Diana, but it is obvious in the letter that the now King is talking about a Grief he shares with 'Peter' who was the recipient of the letter.

“I can so well imagine the unbearable emptiness you must feel at this time; the sense of bewilderment & confusion that accompanies the removal of someone still so young from this world.”

I noticed the man's name and address on the envelope, too. I wondered why it said he was unknown?

It was a wonderful letter. I don't think he was thinking about Diana either.
