At Record Auction, Princess Diana's Beloved Bellville Sassoon Floral Dress Sold For...
Last Updated: A floral gown worn by Princess Diana sold for $520,000 at auction, leading the largest sale of her wardrobe, which included over 100 items. A floral gown worn by Princess Diana on several events fetched $520,000 at auction, headlining what has been described as the largest sale of her wardrobe to date. The pastel dress, which Princess Diana reportedly called her 'caring dress" for its ability to comfort sick children with its bright, cheerful colors, was among more than 100 personal items auctioned in California. The Bellville Sassoon-designed dress, worn by Princess Diana on multiple occasions between 1988 and 1992, including state visits to Spain and Nigeria, led the 'Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection" event at The Peninsula Beverly Hills. Hosted by Julien's Auctions, the sale featured iconic pieces from Diana's formal and casual wardrobe, many of which drew six-figure bids. Among the top earners were a navy Catherine Walker coat dress and a cream silk evening gown by the same designer, both selling for $455,000. A lambskin Dior handbag gifted to Princess Diana by France's former First Lady Bernadette Chirac went for $325,000, while a blue Gianni Versace shift dress sold for $227,500. Some of the items highlighted Princess Diana's more relaxed style, including a scarlet ski suit and a British Lung Foundation sweatshirt, which brought in $325,000 and $221,000 respectively. A black taffeta gown by Elizabeth Emanuel, who co-designed Princess Diana's wedding dress, sold for $26,000. Elizabeth Emanuel earlier said she hoped her archival pieces would 'be loved and appreciated once again by those who will never forget those golden days when Princess Diana was our Queen of Hearts." Julien's previously set the auction record for a Princess Diana ensemble last year, when a Jacques Azagury gown sold for $1.14 million. The auction also featured historical items from the wider royal family, including possessions of Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen Mother, and the Duke and Duchess of Windsor- some dating back to the 19th century. Julien's Auctions' executive director Martin Nolan said, 'Princess Diana's legacy lives on not only through her humanitarian work but also in the timeless elegance of her style, which continues to inspire the world."

Katie Price was forced to delete a loving post to daughter Princess Andre as she gets ready to celebrate her milestone 18th birthday Katie Price quickly deleted a gushing post to daughter Princess as she gets ready to celebrate her 18th birthday. The mum-of-five took to social media to share a loving upload - but quickly removed it. The 47-year-old former glamour model shares the teen with ex-husband Peter Andre. And taking to her Instagram Stories to mark the latest milestone, she said: "Happy 18th birthday to the most amazing daughter and my best friend @princess_andre I love you so much." However, her words came a few days too early, with Princess' birthday not being until Sunday. Katie swiftly removed her upload. Replacing it wit a new post, she went on to say: "2 days until Princess turns 18 can't believe it xx" She shared the sweet words with a snap of her daughter. She days before she turns 18, Princess Andre revealed the lavish top-of-the-range Audi she bough as a present to herself – with a bit of help from her dad. She also admitted she is planning several celebrations. But she admitted s he won't be going crazy to mark the milestone. "To be honest, I'm not fussed on doing a big thing,' she told us in her exclusive photo shoot for the occasion. 'I'll be very happy with a quiet dinner and maybe going somewhere after, so long as it's memorable and the people I love – my family and friends – are with me. I've left it in my dad and Emily's hands. It's going to be a surprise.' And speaking of how she will celebrate with her mum, she added: "Maybe we'll have a nice dinner together. I'm sure Mum will have something planned for me." But a trip to the club is seemingly off the agenda. 'I'm not really a big drinker or a big party-goer, but it'll be nice to be able to go to pubs and stuff with my friends,' Princess says. 'But at the same time, I'm not the sort of person who would embarrass myself. I'll never put myself in a position that would make me look bad.' Earlier this month Princess modelled beachwear at Ibiza Fashion Festival 2025, which was hosted by TV presenter Jenny Powell. She was among those who helped open the festival at Bibo Park in Ibiza on June 12. The event is described as an independent sustainable fashion show on the island off the coast of Spain. Princess represented the beachwear brand Greta, which has a flagship store in the Dominican Republic, at the event. It comes after she made her modelling debut for PrettyLittleThing last year. She had also collaborated with the fashion retailer previously. Rumours had suggested Princess could have sorted a deal with the brand, with speculation saying it could be worth a four-figure fee.

Princess Andre stuns in modelling debut as she storms runway in beachwear
Katie Price and Peter Andre's daughter Princess Andre modelled beachwear at Ibiza Fashion Festival 2025, which was hosted by TV presenter Jenny Powell, earlier this month Model Princess Andre made her runway debut at an event abroad recently as she continues to pursue opportunities in the fashion industry. The teenager took part in this year's Ibiza Fashion Festival, where she graced the catwalk. Princess, 17, was among those who helped open the festival at Bibo Park in Ibiza on June 12. The event, which was hosted by presenter Jenny Powell, is described as an independent sustainable fashion show on the island off the coast of Spain. It was previously announced that 10 designers would have their work showcased at Ibiza Fashion Festival this year. They follow in the footsteps of swimwear brand Naia Beach, co-founded by Tess Daly, which headlined last year. Princess - who is the youngest Katie Price 's two children with Peter Andre - is said to have opened the festival two weeks ago. She represented the beachwear brand Greta, which has a flagship store in the Dominican Republic, at the event. Photos from the occasion show Princess modelled an outfit from a collection by the brand. She's seen wearing a blue bikini top and a coordinated pair of trousers whilst on the catwalk at the venue. Princess' first runway appearance comes after she made her modelling debut for PrettyLittleThing last year after having collaborated with the fashion retailer previously. There had been speculation prior that a deal between Princess and the brand could be worth a four-figure fee. Earlier this year, she teased that she would "love" to have her own makeup range. Her mother Katie, 47, has given her name to makeup lines over the years, including her having once collaborated with the brand Revolution Beauty. Princess has expressed hope in becoming "very successful" and once teased that she would like to be a millionaire in the near future. She told the Sun last year that she wants to "achieve so many things" and be her "own person". She added: "I just know I want to be very successful." The outlet reported that she went on to address speculation that she will be a millionaire by the age of 20. She's quoted as saying: "That sounds amazing. My goal is definitely up there." Princess opened up about her ambitions in an interview with OK! magazine recently ahead of her 18th birthday this weekend. She shared that she's inspired by Kylie Jenner, 27, and Molly-Mae Hague, 26, who have their own brands. She added: "The goal is to follow these women in creating a really successful business and brand. That's really the biggest thing I'm looking forward to in adulthood." Princess continued: "The fact that I won't be a child any more opens up more opportunities. When you're older, more brands want to work with you. It's scary, because being 18 means I'll have a lot more of my own responsibilities, but I'm really focused on building as much as I can for my future in the right way, with the right people around me."

Wheelchair racer Sammi Kinghorn says OBE is ‘cherry on top' of Paralympic medals
Wheelchair racer Kinghorn, 29, from the Scottish Borders, who won five medals at the Paris Paralympics in 2024, including gold in the 100m T53, was honoured by the Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace on Thursday. She told the PA news agency: 'It's amazing, it's such a strange thing. 'I guess in sport you train every day hoping that one day you'll win a medal and you can kind of see that happening, but to actually be honoured it doesn't even seem achievable until it happens. 'To know that other people are watching you and they want to give you something for your achievements is quite nice. 'Paris was incredible, I went to Tokyo and won my first Paralympic medal in front of a completely empty stadium which was actually genuinely heartbreaking. 'But to go to Paris and have a full stadium and all my friends and family there was incredible, and to win my first Paralympic gold medal and then to be honoured was a cherry on top of the cake.' Kinghorn said that later this year she will compete in marathons, including one in Sydney in August. She added: 'I'm more just doing it for fun this year, I have been under so much pressure – I've been doing this sport at this level since I was 17. 'So I want to do something where there's no pressure and it really doesn't matter, just more to enjoy sport again.'
