Largest Princess Diana Auction Features 200+ Items in Los Angeles

An unprecedented auction featuring over 200 items owned by Princess Diana, dubbed the 'largest Princess Diana auction ever,' is set for June 26 at the Peninsula Beverly Hills in Los Angeles. Hosted by Julien's Auctions, the sale includes iconic clothing such as the silk floral 'caring dress' worn during hospital visits, a sequinned gown from a Saudi Arabia royal visit, and the Lady Dior handbag, which Diana helped popularize. Martin Nolan, co-founder of Julien's Auctions, highlighted Diana's status as a style icon whose wardrobe conveyed powerful messages and remains highly relevant, partly fueled by renewed public interest from Netflix's The Crown. The auction also offers royal artifacts from other British royals, with some pieces dating back to the 19th century, attracting private collectors and museums worldwide. Previous Diana auctions have fetched millions, with individual items like a 1985 Jacques Azagury gown selling for over $1 million, underscoring both the cultural and investment value of the collection. This sale not only celebrates Diana's enduring legacy but also reflects her lasting impact on fashion and popular culture.
