Queen Victoria’s 52-inch waist knickers go for £600 at auction
London, Sep 8 (ANI): A bizarre heirloom of the Royal Family has emerged in the form of a pair of oversized knickers belonging to Her Majesty Queen Victoria.
The linen “split drawers”, which had been hidden in a private collection for 100 years, measured 52 inches around the waist, and were sold at auction for 600 pounds to the Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection charity.
The bloomers, which are a size 38, were on September 7 displayed by Kensington Palace warder Victoria Wright, 22, reports the Sun.
They have an embroidered crown and VR – Victoria Regina, and may go on show when a 12 million pounds overhaul of royal outfits is completed in 2012 at the Palace in central London. (ANI)
