UK - Christie's to Sell 80 of Princess Diana's Dresses
APTV
London - 25 February 1997
British auctioneers Christie's announced that they are to sell eighty of Princess Diana's dresses in New York. All the money raised by the much heralded auction, which will take place in June, will go to two charities which research cancer and AIDS treatments in the United States and Britain and have been chosen by Diana. For the first time The Princess of Wales has launched a libel suit against a British Sunday newspaper which this weekend suggested she personally would benefit from the sale. Christies in London displayed five of the dresses which will be auctioned on June the twenty fifth. The idea for Diana to clear-out some of her extensive wardrobe is thought to have come from her son Prince William.

UK - Princess Diana to Pay compensation to Sylvia McDermott
APTV
London UK, 5 March 1997 and file
Diana, Princess of Wales has agreed to pay compensation to a former royal housemaid who said she was unfairly dismissed. Lawyers announced the settlement during a four-minute tribunal hearing in which Sylvia McDermott sued the British Princess for unfair dismissal. Hectic last-minute trading between lawyers representing the two parties resulted in a settlement, shortly before the start of an industrial tribunal hearing in London. Sylvia McDermott was dismissed from Kensington Palace last September after nine years' employment. This case is not the first time that relations between the Princess and her staff have been strained. In the past she has had high profile rifts with Geoffrey Crawford, her press secretary, and with her nanny Tiggy Legge-Bourke.
McDermott joined the household of Prince Charles and Diana in 1987 and stayed with Diana when the couple split up in 1992. Her duties included dusting and cleaning the royal apartments, and some work overseas. She was laid off last September after, according to news reports, being told twice by Diana that her work was unsatisfactory.
