BESTE
VRIENDEN EN COLLEGA'S
Ik ontving een
telefoontje uit Madrid. Het bezoek gaat door aan Alcalá
de Henares. Op dit
moment ben ik niet van plan om iets te kopen. Ik heb wel contact
opgenomen met verkooporganisatie Wal-Mart. Bij een 'bepaalde aankoop' denk
ik aan de aankoop van de voetballers Frank de Boer en Phillip Cocu door
en voor de Arnhemse
voetbalclub. Hierover
nieuws in het Telegraafartikel De
Boer en Cocu praten over toekomst bij Barça Dit is echter een zaak voor de
spelers zelf en ik zie ze graag spelen in het PRINSES DIANA STADION. Lijkt mij leuk voor Phillip om
naar de basis terug te gaan. De heer P.A.W. Thiel van Knijff & Partners heeft daarbij altijd wel een goed
idee. Lijkt mij. Ik nodig mijn Manager
Benelux van harte
uit het vertaalbureau Cervantes
Translation Services
op te zetten als werkmaatschappij van de holding en mijn boek te vertalen in het
Frans. Eventueel te laten vertalen in het Spaans. Voorts lijkt het mij belangrijk
dat mijn berichtgeving dagelijks wordt vertaald voor het grote
publiek. BAR NUMBER
ONE heeft een nieuwe
Britse medewerkster met de Nederlandse vlag op haar wang en het
opschrift MADE IN ENGLAND.
Dit past exact in het kader van het thema HOW TO BUILD THE BRIDGE. Mijn aandacht gaat vandaag dus uit naar
KROONPRINS
WILLIAM.
OPEN
LETTER TO H.R.H. PRINCE WILLIAM
DEAR
WILLIAM,
Next Saturday
You will become 21 years. Therefore I read the following story
in the DAILY EXPRESS of
last Saturday: WILLIAM
AT 21 STARTING TODAY. I
am very grateful to Mr. Holden for this article. I still remember
him from the BBC Broadcasting with the title Behind the Palace Walls. It was in September
1996, when your
mother visited me for the first time in Nijmegen. He said: "Princess Diana does not want
Her Husband to be King. She wants Her Son to be King". I also recognize the name of Mr. Andrew Neil. On the day that Your Mother had received my first
letter on the 8th
of October 1996
he stated before BBC1: "He
or she who laughs last, laughs longest". Unfortunately it has become a 'he', living in
the south of Spain at the time.
As from that
moment I considered the problem of Your Parents
as a personal responsibility
to solve. Therefore I went to see and speak to your bodyguard
Sergeant
David Sharp at Eton
College on the 23d
of April 1997, although
your headmaster had sent me the following letter:
I was not afraid
and went nevertheless. Because a very sincere problem had to be
solved. I may presume that you have read My Letters
to Your Mother already.
I delivered the manuscript of that book to all parties concerned
around Christmas
1997 as you can
read in my report of that visit directed to my best
Colleague. It is largely in Dutch however. But - as I also wrote
to your mother - YOU'LL
FIND YOUR FRIENDS IN THE NETHERLANDS. On last Wednesday, the 4th of June I sent the
following message to Joti Bryant of Trafford Publishing in Canada: "Subject: LETTERS
TO DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES. Dear Joti,
I received the message that you moved to Cheshire in the United
Kingdom and are setting up an installation for Trafford Publishing. That is great news.
That way my
book can be printed,
distributed and sold in the United
Kingdom. I would
advise you to start the selling in the gift shops of Buckingham
Palace, Kensington
Palace, Hampton
Court Palace in
London, Windsor
Castle, Blenheim
Palace, Althorp
House and Holyrood
Castle in Edinburgh (Scotland). In those palaces almost everyone knows 'The Story'.
Starting with Her
Royal Majesty the Queen
Herself. Perhaps Prince Williams 21st birthday next 21st of June
will be an excellent occasion to start
the selling. So I think you can start the operation now. If Oprah
Winfrey wants me in her programme I will be prepared to accept
her invitation. Once she also had Princess 'Fergie' in her programme
at the time that I had advised Diana
to break off the contact with her for a while after the letter
of 13th November 1996 (attached).
At this moment I find myself
in Nijmegen in the Netherlands. Next Monday I will go back to
Spain. There I have got a new emailadress. I will return to the
Netherlands on the 28th of August: The seventh anniversary of my first engagement after
my divorce. I wish you a lot of success
in the United Kingdom. Cheers! John L. Van der Heyden KINGDOM
OF THE NETHERLANDS." I
received the following reply: "Hello
John, How lovely to hear from you again. Thank you for your good
wishes. We would be very pleased to see your books being sold
in the various booksstores connected to the British palaces. However,
our service does not actually include physically approaching bookstores
on behalf of our authors. This is a role that is undertaken either
by the author him or herself, or through a hired distributor.
There certainly are other self publishing services available,
that do include additional marketing services, (although I am
not aware of any that actually visit shops on authors' behalf)
- but please be aware that the cost is many times higher than
the fees we charge at Trafford. Our service is designed to be
highly affordable and a method that gets books in print quickly.
If you are serious about getting your book into these illustrious
establishments, I suggest that you contact the buyers directly
and use your special powers of persuasion to stock the book, perhaps
on a trial basis. This may take a bit of research, to discover
who the buyer is for each shop, and where they are located - as
in some cases they may be part of a large chain and the buying
done by one central office. I
certainly agree - to have a book like yours in the shop to coincide
with the celebration of Prince William's birthday this month,
would be very timely. Do you have a
stock of books to send any shops, in case they do decide to go
ahead and order? Please remember that it will take a little time
to print new orders and get them shipped over to the UK. For any
promotional campaign such as this, it is very good idea to give
yourself lots of lead time, in order to have the books available
before the specific date, should the orders materialize. Have
you already approached Oprah Winfrey about appearing on her show?
That would be wonderful! Please do let me know if you are successful.
Thank you again for your note, and I wish you every success in
creating sales, and getting the kind of exposure that you envisage
for the book. All the best, Joti. Joti Bryant Senior Publishing Consultant, Trafford
Publishing UK, Crewe, England "
I may presume
someone of the Royal
Household can take over this duty. Mr Holden perhaps (John
or Anthony). Regarding
the subject I noticed that You decided to invite the Families
of Your
Father and Your
Mother at Windsor Castle next
Saturday. That is a very wise decision. I trust in your sense
of responsibility regarding my book and the letter that
I delivered on your behalf
at Balmoral
Castle on the 28th
of December 1999.
I dedicated my
book in the first place to Your
Uncle Charles, because
He defended 'our quixotic quest' as
you can read in my letters to him and your Aunt Lady Sarah MacCorquodale. The new Spencer on the Throne of England will
be You, William. I end this letter with a poem of Rudyard Kipling,
that I found in Henley-on-Thames on
the 24th
of April 1997.
IF
IF you can keep
your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance to their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knives to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the
Earth and everything that's in it
And - Which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
WILLIAM!
