Cheeky greeting cards signed by Princess Diana sell for thousands

Rude greeting cards featuring sexual innuendos sent by Princess Diana to the King of Greece have sold for £7,000. The pair of cheeky cards were signed by the Princess of Wales herself and have sexually suggestive colour cartoons.

The front of the first card has a cartoon of a naked man leaning on a tree and the writing "Adam came first..." followed by "...Men always do!" on the inside. The second card features a naked woman on the front and tells a similar joke asking: "What's the definition of the Perfect Man?" followed by the answer: "A midget with a 10" tongue who can breathe through his ears!"

The recipient of the risqué cards was Constantine II - the last King of Greece. He was first cousin once removed from Prince Philip both being descended from King George I of Greece.

Prince Philip and Princess Diana were godparents to Prince Philippos of Greece and Denmark (born 1986), the youngest son of Constantine II and Anne-Marie of Denmark.

The second card has an additional message in Diana's hand that reads: "I couldn't decide which card to send & then thought you'd enjoy both!"

The cards sold for £7,000 to a Diana collectors in the US at Dominic Winter Auctioneers.
