Fw: Strictly private: The Duke ofYork -

For the Attention of Ed Perkins Deputy Press Secretary to The Queen and Press Secretary to The Duke of York Saturday 26 February 2011.

Dear Ed,

Strictly Private:

I have offered several times to show you the photograph we have in our possession and you have declined to view the picture. I see from your latest email that you believe this photograph of The Duke of York and Virginia would be helpful for identification purposes.

If you can give me an undertaking this picture will be used by you for identification purposes only and not shown to any person other than The Duke of York, I am able to confirm that I can send you an email of the photograph.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Yours Sincerely,

Sian James
