Ebay was forced to withdraw love letters written by Prince Charles from their website. The six letters to a mystery Canadian girlfriend were on offer at £40,000.

Five were written in 1976 when Charles, then a Navy officer, was said to “have a girl in every port”. The other was penned in June 1980 — a year before he married Princess Diana. The Sun discovered they were on sale. But an EBay source said last night: “They are very private. We don’t want to upset the Prince so it is likely they will be withdrawn.” Los Angeles-based royal collector Alicia Carroll was given the notes by the ex-love.

In the 1980 letter Charles moans about not being able to sneak women into his hotel room on tours for fear of the press. A second tells how he longs to spend more time with the woman and a third says he hopes they can be together when his ship visits Canada. He writes: “I wish I could come roaring across the Atlantic to make you less lonely.”

Referring to pressure on him to wed Charles says: “I shall just have to get married as soon as possible and then all these people will relax a little.” Alicia said: “The letters are significant because they are written at a time Charles claims his only true love was Camilla.”

You Said

Fortunately for ol' Charlie, he was born rich and royal, otherwise, I doubt he'd have ever gotten any...girlfriends, I mean. Uh-hum, yeah.
