Before the Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection auction in
A flurry of interest surrounded the floral Bellville Sassoon dress Diana wore alongside Charles in Seville in 1992 — with one punter meeting the $300,000 asking price.
The silk outfit was known as Diana's 'caring dress', which she often wore on visits to hospitals to meet patients, including The Lighthouse Project for AIDS in London in the same year.
A custom cream Catherine Walker evening gown worn during her 1986 Gulf Tour of Saudi Arabia and UAE, had already attracted a $150,000 bid — half of the £300,000 estimate.

Early bids also met the $100,000 reserve price by Julien's Auctions on a yellow Bruce Oldfield outfit Di wore to Ascot in 1987.
Her favourite red ski suit, which she wore on the slopes in Klosters, Switzerland, in 1986, was expected to fetch at least $50,000.
A blue cap was estimated at $4,000, while her 1997 British Lung Foundation sweatshirt was set to fetch $20,000.
The collection was curated with items from multiple owners across the globe — with a portion of the proceeds going to Muscular Dystrophy UK.

Princess Andre reveals why she'd never call out mum Katie Price over ‘rift' amid accusations star ‘tried to overshadow'
THE teen has just launched her own TV show - but her relationship with her mum has taken centre stage keeping mum Princess Andre reveals why she'd never call out mum Katie Price over 'rift' amid accusations star 'tried to overshadow' PRINCESS Andre has revealed the reason she never calls out her mum after a disagreement or issue. The 18-year-old admitted 'it's not worth' bringing things up with Katie Price in a telling comment amid reports of ongoing tension between the pair. 3 Princess Andre has revealed she doesn't bother to call out her mum Credit: Getty 3 Princess is now the star of her own reality TV show Credit: Instagram Advertisement In an interview over the weekend, Princess - whose dad is Peter Andre - addressed her recent birthday party, which Katie wasn't invited to. Speaking to The Guardian, ITV's The Princess Diaries star, said it was 'interesting' her mum had told the media about not attending the bash. And when asked why she didn't call Katie to ask her about it, Princess said 'it wasn't worth it', adding: 'Mum can be annoyed about something and then we send each other a message and we're fine.' She candidly explained that Katie would never have been invited because her parents 'don't like each other.' Advertisement 'It would be quite strange for my mum and dad to be in it at the same time, just because that's never been the case in my life since they split up,' she said. Princess turned 18 back in June, and at the time Katie claimed she wasn't invited because she had been banned from appearing in The Princess Diaries. Speaking on her The Katie Price Show podcast at the time, she said: "Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. "Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me." Advertisement Her sister Sophie chipped in: "You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why." Katie then said: "It's pathetic. I'm her mother. Princess Andre breaks silence on Peter and Katie's bitter feud after his blistering statement "I'm just saying, Princess was like 'I'm having a party'. And I wasn't invited because it was for 'filming.'" Sources at the time told the Mirror that Katie has been trying to "insert herself" into Princess's career and her "attention-seeking" behaviour just 24 hours before her new ITV show aired was to "overshadow" the launch. 'It was all in the diary but then Katie claimed she couldn't make it as she was abroad. It was disappointing," a source told the publication. Advertisement 'For Katie to then say she was banned from the afternoon's filmed party when she was the no-show in the morning is just beyond belief.' 3 Peter Andre appears in his daughter's doc but Katie does not Credit: Splash Katie admitted her frustrations, saying: 'I'm not making money off my daughter. So I am fuming about the situation, but at the same time, I want Princess to do well and I back her in every way. "The family, we're all fuming about it. How, again, not one member of our family or anything are involved in anything Princess does." But the source insisted that Katie should not have "made it all about her" the eve of her daughter's show, regardless of what's happened.

‘Molly-Mae needs to take a leaf out of Paris Fury's book' say fans as ‘super mum' reveals everything she's done in 1 day
PARIS Fury has been hailed a 'super mum' after revealing everything she's been up to in just one day during the summer holidays. Not only were fans pleased as Paris, 35, 'kept it real' with her content, but others claimed that her sister-in-law, Molly-Mae Hague, 26, should 'take a leaf out of her book.' 4 Paris Fury has revealed a typical day as a busy mum in the summer holidays Credit: Instagram 4 The mum-of-seven left fans stunned with everything she had done in just one day, despite feeling as though she had "hit the wall" Credit: Instagram 4 Fans claimed her sister-in-law, Molly-Mae Hague, should "take a leaf" out of her book Credit: Splash 4 Paris wanted to "hide" from her seven kids Credit: Instagram Yesterday, the mum-of-seven, who just days ago revealed the little-known way families can save cash, took to social media to open up on her busy day. Posting on her Instagram stories, the blonde beauty, who recently tied the knot for the third time to retired heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury, 37, got candid on feeling as though she had 'hit a brick wall.' As she filmed herself sitting on a bed, the mother, who is said to have a secret wealth that is nothing to do with the Gypsy King's £100million fortune, said: 'I'm changing the bedding. 'Does anybody else just get like halfway through Monday jobs and think, I've hit the brick wall, don't want to go anymore.' The influencer then added: 'I've done the washing, been to the supermarket, stripped beds, kids [are] off school and I have hit the wall.' Clearly overwhelmed, the star, who is said to receive a weekly paycheck of £3,800, shared her desire to "hide" from her youngsters. 'I might just hide in the bedroom for half an hour," she continued. Paris' short clip has since been reshared online, with fans praising the busy mum and hailing her an 'inspiration.' Meanwhile, others claimed that Molly-Mae, who was recently slammed after refusing to discipline her daughter Bambi, two, and came under fire in 2022 for her "24 hours in a day" comments, should take a leaf out of Paris' book. One person said: 'Molly-Mae needs to take a leaf out of your book Paris. Super mum!!' Inside mum-of-seven Paris Fury's glam bank holiday weekend away from the kids - from travelling in a private jet to night out partying with Tyson Another agreed: 'Molly-Mae is on a Persil advert but has probably never done a wash in her life. Love Paris, she's great.' A third commented: 'You're the best mum, I don't know how you do it. Respect to you.' Inside Tyson and Paris Fury's love story WITH world champ titles, multiple kids and a beautiful wife by his side, Tyson is much-loved by the nation, but his romance with Paris dates back to their teenage years. Paris met Fury when she was just 15 at a mutual friend's wedding. However, it wasn't until a year later, when their paths crossed again on a night out in Doncaster for her 16th birthday, that they began dating. Paris explained: "He was my first boyfriend as I was not allowed a boyfriend until the age of 16. He is the only boyfriend I have had. 'Tyson would train in boxing during the week and then come and see me at the weekend. I would always be so excited at the thought of seeing him.' In 2008, they tied the knot in front of 400 guests and slept together for the first time on the night of their wedding. In 2016, Fury's mental health issues, cocaine and alcohol abuse, and intolerable mood swings threatened their seemingly unbreakable marriage. On occasion, Paris would even contemplate leaving - packing her bags and getting into her car. However, she'd just stop herself - admitting she couldn't leave Tyson to "crash and burn". One woman added: 'You keep it real Paris.' Whilst someone else penned: 'You're the most amazing woman! I follow you, read your books. You are an inspiration Paris. Molly-Mae needs to take a leaf out of your book Paris. Super mum!! TikTok user At the same time, many other parents could relate to Paris, as one mother admitted: 'I know the feeling.' A second chimed in: 'Omg feel your pain.' Meanwhile, one mum confessed: 'Yes true, I'm the same at the moment.'

She is understood to have left the country and is being sought by cops. Those close to Chris previously revealed his ordeal started last July when he attended the same event as the woman. A representative for Chris told The Sun: "This is an ongoing police investigation, and therefore we are unable to comment at this time. "Chris will not be commenting further.' According to Daily Mail, the 'violent' stalker's actions have included threatening to spread lies about Chris and his wife, Opera singer Camilla Kerslake to social services. A source told the publication: "One of the most terrifying things has been the suggestion that her lies could get their kids could be taken away - it's left them shaken to the core." The source also said: "This isn't just someone making empty threats. "According to other victims, this individual has allegedly set fires, made bomb threats, and has even threatened to blow up children at their schools. While a source previously told The Sun: 'It's been absolutely terrible for Chris and Camilla. Strictly star calls in cops and almost quit show after crazed female stalker made 'disgusting threats' 'He met this woman twice, very briefly, during work events and then she started telling all sorts of awful lies about him. 'He was never alone with her and they barely spoke so he's got no idea why she targeted him. 'The stuff she was coming up with was farcical. She then started calling companies Chris and Camilla were working with to tell them these made up lies. "She is intent on trying to ruin Chris and Camilla's life. Her other victims are said to have struggled professionally, financially, and mentally. 'Chris warned police the minute his children were put into danger. "This woman posted their address online and made really nasty threats against him and his family.' Those close to Chris - who is set to star in this year's Strictly - said the BBC are aware of the ongoing issues and are supporting him. A friend said: 'Chris almost turned down Strictly because of what this woman has been putting him and his family through. 'She's made some disgusting threats. It has been awful for them. 'Chris and Camilla have been told by the police they're not alone. This woman has form for what she's been doing to them and has done it to other people too. 'Chris and Camilla are just the latest victims in a string of lives she's tried to destroy. 'He only went ahead with Strictly for his son Wilding. 'He told his dad: 'I want mummy to laugh at your dancing'. So Chris bit the bullet and went for it. 'He was honest with the BBC from the start and they've been amazing. 'They are supporting him and are aware of everything that is going on.'
