This is believed to be the first time Diana’s privately owned jewellery will be sold publicly. Most of the jewellery she wore was loaned to her by the Crown when she was a member of the royal family.

‘The Swan Lake Suite was especially made for her. She was part of the design process.

‘It is thought to be her only jewellery to have ever been sold, making it extraordinarily important.

The jewelry was bought in 1999 by American businessman Jim McIngvale for just under $1 million, but he sold it to a Ukrainian family who are big fans of the royal family during the economic downturn in 2008.

‘The war in Ukraine has been a motivating factor in them deciding to sell the Swan Lake Suite now.
