Queen Elizabeth’s underwear up for auction
A collection of personal items once owned by Queen Elizabeth are up for auction later this month in the UK, including her lacy undergarments.
The items are expected to fetch a pretty penny, with one pink satin petticoat estimated to sell for nearly $2,000 or more.
The petticoat, embroidered with her initials ER on the fringe, was bought at a charity garden party in Suffolk, UK in the 1950s.
It was eventually gifted to the Duchess of Grafton, who served as the queens Lady of the Bedchamber and attended her at the Coronation.
Another item up for auction is the Queens military driving license, which she used during World War II when she was an active duty member of the British Armed Forces.

The license was issued when she was still Princess Elizabeth and is personally signed and dated.
It comes with a handwritten account of her service and photos from her driving instructor, the late Major Violet Wellesley.
The license could sell for roughly $2,200 or more.
Also up for auction is a collection of signed Christmas cards from the royal family over the decades, with prices ranging from about $57 to $220.
A rare model of Princess Dianas left hand is also up for auction.
The 24-centimeter model was made by Croatian sculptor Oscar Nemon, who frequently worked with other members of the British royal family, including the late Queen.
He forged the model of Dianas left hand just before his passing in 1985, and eight years before the tragic loss of the Princess.
The auction house called the piece extremely rare and believed unique.
The Queen was the first female member of the royal family to serve in the armed forces, and the auction includes a collection of photographs from her military career.
The monarch died on September 8 at the age of 96, after 70 years as queen.
The auction will take place on November 8 and 9 at Reeman Dansie Auctioneers in Colchester, UK.
The auction house expects the Queens personal items to sell for high prices, as is typical with auctions of royal memorabilia.
Several of the Queens personal items, including her pink satin petticoat and military driving license, are expected to fetch nearly $2,000 or more.
The petticoat was originally bought at a charity garden party in Suffolk, UK in the 1950s and was eventually gifted to the Duchess of Grafton.
