6QT GREAT BRITAIN Concerns:
The
Red Carpet Our reference:
ICNBLEW/Christie's971104 Your reference:
361106 Dear Sirs, I
am obliged to thank you for the sending of your purple brochure that
I received yesterday. Within this context I sent a confidential
letter to your colleagues in Amsterdam on last
29 August with the following message.
"With a
lot of pleasure I established that you lay out the red carpet for me.
I hope this will also concern
My Partner in
the United
Kingdom on next
28 September in Palace
Het Loo in Apeldoorn. On last 22 April I had a conversation with Mr
David Lancaster
of Christie's in London.
On that occasion
I have asked him if he would be prepared to auction my pen with
purple ink with a meantime historical value of 'something more than a million guilders'. As soon as a historical agreement
would be signed with that pen that would certainly be possible
according to Mr Lancaster.
On that same day I attended
The
Changing of the Guards
before Buckingham
Palace and showed
enclosed photograph to the palace guards.
On that day I also
presented a painting at Kensington
Palace for Princess
Diana and authorized Her to
execute my authorities as Director
of the Limited Company Instituto Cervantes England and Wales in the United Kingdom. Meanwhile I appointed Her Queen of Hearts (on 6
November 1996 in BRUSSELS) and Head
of My Organization.
I also proposed Her to change the whole organization into a Family
Company as from next 28 September. On last 18
August I visited Kensington
Palace again.
In the palace
I have presented my
'Certificate of Incorporation
Instituto Cervantes England and Wales'. So the business is almost complete. The only thing
that I still need is a signature of the Princess. Within this matter I hope to count
on the collaboration of Christies. Obviously it is known to you
that 'purple' and 'red' is Her favourite colour combination. With
kind regards, INSTITUTO
CERVANTES Netherlands,
Belgium, Luxemburg, England
and Wales, JOHANNES
L. VAN DER HEYDEN, Founder
Foundation Cervantes Benelux, Owner Trademark 'Instituto Cervantes'
in the Benelux, Owner Limited Company 'Instituto Cervantes England
and Wales', Manager Benelux. Enclosed: 'My Queen of Hearts', 'Purple
full of Love about Kok and Van Mierlo'."
Unfortunately this letter can
not remain confidential anymore because We lost Her two days later.
On 28 September I went alone to Palace Het Loo. I went to the
King William III room, that I had reserved for the celebration.
The dinner table with red and
purple flowers had been removed. Then I went to The Engelenburg
Castle in Brummen, a former Van
der Heyden Family Castle.
There it was confirmed that Princess Diana agreed with my plans.
She had visited the estate nine months before by helicopter. Shortly
after She had received my 28 orange and red roses on 28
August. It was also confirmed that the song Candle
in the Wind was named after the candle that I lighted for
Her on the first of August in Canterbury
Cathedral after I had offered the Crown Princes
of Spain, Luxemburg, Belgium and the
Netherlands a seat
in the government of the Foundation
Cervantes Benelux. Therefore I called Her My
Fifth Rose. This theme has also been introduced in the song
of ELTON JOHN.
I have decided that Princess
Diana will remain posthumously Head
of My Organization. Meanwhile the changing of the limited
company into a holding
company has been set into operation. I will take the responsibility
of Vice President of the holding
and requested Diana's brother to
become the President
of the holding. The Foundation
Cervantes Benelux will be changed into'European
Cervantes Foundation and into International Cervantes Foundation in a later stage. The main objective of the foundation
will become setting up charity projects in Spanish speaking countries
in the spirit of My Lady.
As a prove I herewith send you
my Business
Plan and the manuscript of my book'Letters
to Diana, Princess of Wales on floppy disk. Therefore I request
you to transfer the
profit of the auction of My Lady's dresses
to account number 4729266 of the
Foundation Cervantes Benelux. I also request you to reserve
part of the amount personally for me to buy the Engelenburg
Castle with the objective to organize congresses there about doing business with Spain in a
responsible way. It would be good that
the castle becomes in hands of the family again. Of course I will
invite members of the Princess of
Wales Memorial Fund in the Government of the European
Cervantes Foundation.
With kind regards.
Yours sincerely,
Johannes L. Van
der Heyden
P.S.
Your code 361106 means to me that I will celebrate Diana's 36th
birthday on coming 6 November during a Royal Captains Dinner in
Loosdrecht.

of Incorporation Instituto Cervantes Limited England and Wales
- Business Plan and Manuscript 'Letters to Diana' on floppy disk
in ClarisWorks (Macintosh)
Today I received a little statue
of an angel carrying a red candle and a so called mistery present
representing a peacock caring for three mushrooms from which two
are broken down. My intuition tells me that this present must
have a deep significance. It makes me think of a dear Lady and
the broken hearts of two children who have my deepest concern.
I think a lot of them. I hope it gives them some consolation and
it will be a symbol of the new light. Tonight I will light the
candle.
I'm solving a financial temporary
problem, but I hope you will be able to come. The business plan
I'm translating myself. I will bring it with me and come by train.
Afterwards I will stay with you if you wish and follow you to
England. In your country I can be appointed Earl. We had some
more earls in our family, for example Karel (1749-1826), Senator
in the Imperial Court of Napoleon in Paris (1810). Now I only
can be called Sir. That would be a final solution of my personal
problem and perhaps of yours as well. This would also be the end
of a new fairy tale and a new chapter of the Bold and the Beautiful.
There's only one problem: I'm ugly. Yours, Peter Pan.
Concerns: Core Business. In due
course you need no heart surgeon anymore. After having reached
a business agreement we can share our experiences. I will do the
utmost to make it a success. So let it happen. You looked wonderful
in New York. Mr Mac Knight has done a very good job. Please watch
your health. Your Knight. The real one.
Date: 28 December
1996.
Concerns: Decision.
If we can reach a business agreement I will marry you.
If not, I will marry you too.
If you want. Yours.
I can inform that the continuity
of British Monarchy has my Supreme Concern as a member of the
oldest noble family of this continent that produced every Royal
House in Our Continent. I am still prepared to marry the mother
of Prince William. I have no problem with Her temporary relationship
with Mr Al Fayed in order to raise a financial participation in
the Business Plan Instituto Cervantes Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg,
England and Wales.
"No wedding
says Diana"
'A seance? No, we visited the sick'. I noticed that you visited
a clairvoyant and Harrods brought a special delivery to KP in
the colours of the Institute of English Studies. Nice of them.
My competitor/concolleague in Madrid is the King of Spain. But
perhaps you know the text of our national anthem: 'The King of
Spain I have always honoured'. This song was written by Marnix
van Sint Aldegonde, a close friend of William of Orange and Gaspar
van der Heyden, the founder of the Nether-Dutch Church and fellow
founder of the State of the Netherlands. He descended from the
oldest noble family of Europe. It's a pity for Mr Dodi that he
has not the high noble standards that I have.
And now their
faces are purple as heather.
I think Mr Peter Jones, from West Horsley,
Surrey has got the message. To be continued, but on a professional
basis." Finally I have your sizes 5ft 10in and 36-24-36.
Now I can buy you a red and orange dress. In April I visited the
wedding dress department at Harrods. We call this 'learning by
experience' in management terms.
ULTIMATE CHALLENGE:
SOLVING THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CRISIS IN THE 'UNITED KINGDOM'
I have your best interest at heart.
With Love.
28 August.
A historical day. Welcome home again.
It means to you a year of freedom. To me a year of new inspiration.
A year of a new relationship with Britain. A new starting point.
A new process. Forgetting Spain and Spanish for a while and concentrating
on England and English. I look back with a great sense of satisfaction.
I have learned to know you in a year. First by bying two books
of Andrew Morton. Then newspapers in which I followed you and
learned to know your world. As you stepped out of the royal household,
I got into, although out of a humble atmosphere. You have been
my inspiration to change. You inspired me to celebrate Christmas
in the cradle of our royal family. You inspired me to found a
new company in Britain with a world wide known name. You inspired
me to invest all my money in a new relationship. You were - and
still are - my invisible manager, the new partner on the other
side of the sea. I learned a lot during the last year. First of
all I learned to improve my English. I got new ideas, new thoughts
and noticed that they are the same as yours. I even adapted your
pronunciation after having seen and heard the video tape of your
visit to Angola. I consider you as my spiritual sister or better:
spiritual partner. You inspired me to come to England in April
with a painting under my arms, representing a new organization.
If it will become a family company. That will be your choice.
I started the process and created the conditions. That process
is still going on.
