(Queen) Victoria's Secret: Bloomers Fetched £4,500 at an Auction

Posted by Alex in Fashion on August 4, 2008 at 12:44 am


A pair of bloomers once owned by Queen Victoria had just fetched £4,500 at an auction:

The knickers have a 50in (127cm) waist and date from the 1890s, which indicates the monarch had a large girth as she approached her old age.

It was thought the bloomers would fetch £500 but a Canadian buyer spent £4,500 on the pants which are monogrammed with VR for Victoria Regina.

    Victoria's Secret should have remained a secret!

    I agree! WTF. Don't even want to know who's seeling and who's buying.
