NEWBRIDGE, Ireland: From colourful frocks and hats to handbags and shoes, items belonging to the late Princess Diana go under the hammer this month in what Julien’s Auctions says is the largest collection of her fashion to go to auction.

The live and online “Princess Diana’s Style & A Royal Collection” sale will take place on June 26 at The Peninsula Beverly Hills, offering an array of fashion items Diana wore. “This is the largest Princess Diana auction because we have over 100 items from her amazing life and career...keeping in mind Diana herself...sold over 70 of her dresses...back in 1997 to raise money for her charity,” Martin Nolan, executive director and co-founder of Julien’s Auctions, told Reuters on Monday.
