Queen Victoria’s knickers are going up for auction - with a “huge amount of interest” expected as collectors rush to own a piece of the 19th century monarch’s underwear.

A pair of Queen Victoria’s knickers are expected to sell for £7,000 at auction after featuring on the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow. The hand-sewn pair of knee length bloomers, with a single button and drawstring 40-41 inch waist, are even embroidered with a Royal Crest.

The undies are thought to have been passed down by a Lady of the Bedchamber who worked for Queen Victoria. They will be sold by auction at Lawrences of Crewkerne in Somerset on April 19 for an estimated price of £5,000 to £7,000.
