Online auctioneers eBay were poised to withdraw six “love letters” allegedly written by Britain’s heir to the throne Prince Charles, The Sun tabloid reported on Saturday.
The letters, apparently addressed to a mystery Canadian girlfriend from Charles’s youth, were on sale for 40,000 pounds.

Five were written in 1976 when Charles was a Navy officer. The other was penned in 1980 a year before the young prince married Princess Diana.

An eBay source was quoted as telling The Sun: “They are very private. We don’t want to upset the prince so it is likely they will be withdrawn.”

Alicia Carroll, a Los Angeles-based royal collector, was given the letters by the former girlfriend, the tabloid said.

Quoting from the letters, The Sun reported that Charles allegedly complains about being unable to sneak women into his hotel room for fear of being caught by reporters.
