The photograph, which was refused by a British tabloid in 1980 because it was too "disturbing", was sold for the sum of $ 18,306.
For a print size of 20 by 25, it is simply the princess lying on the lap of a young man in the process of reading (identified as Adam Russell, a descendant of the former prime minister Stanley Baldwin), the girl smiled simply.
However the words "do not publish" is written on the back is accompanied by the date the photo was taken: February 26, 1981. Two days after the announcement of the wedding of Diana and Prince Charles.
This is probably why the picture was so embarrassing.
