Just when we think we’ve know everything there is to know about the royal family, more stories and pictures are revealed. Thirty-four years after Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ wedding, one of the most-watched events in history, new unseen images from their 1981 wedding have been released to the public, and are set to be sold at auction.
The behind the scenes collection, which was taken at Princess Diana and Prince Charles’ wedding reception at Buckingham Palace, features 12 original unpublished photographs that belonged to the assistant to photographer Patrick Lichfield.
The photos show Princess Diana at various points on her wedding day, as well as members of the wedding party, which include Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles, Princess Ann, Princess Margaret, and Prince Andrew.
The collection will be auctioned off by PR Auction on September 17, and the minimum bid has been set at $300, however the pre-auction estimate sale price is between $1,000 and $2,000. The selling price may even go for much higher, as one rare photo of Princess Diana as a teenager sold for about $18,000.
Take a look at some of the never before seen photographs below:
