Published January 18th, 2006
Letters written by the Queen to her midwife have gone on display before they are auctioned on Monday.
Sister Helen Rowe, known affectionately by Her Majesty as Rowie, attended the births of all four royal children.
The lots, which include photographs, have gone on view at Bonhams in Bath before going under the hammer.
The five hand-written letters, dating from 1959 to 1964, give a rare insight into the Queen’s private life as she discusses her young children.
