The life-sized cast of her left hand will be auctioned off at Reeman Dansie in Colchester, Essex, UK, the day before the premiere of The Crown’s fifth season, which will depict the late royal in her final days.

 


25 years ago today Diana died in a car accident in Paris in shocking circumstances, and items belonging to Diana are popular at auctions. A black Ford Escort RS Turbo driven by the princess for three years was sold earlier this year for £650,000.

 

 

The cast of Diana’s left hand, created by Oscar Nemon, is now expected to fetch up to £40,000.

 

Mr Nemon, who died in 1985 while working on a relief of the princess, also sculpted the late Queen, Winston Churchill, and Siegmund Freud.

 

Reeman Danise will also auction off a cast he made of Sir Winston’s right hand next Tuesday.

It is expected to fetch between £5,000 and £7,000 at auction.

 

 

‘It is an amazing feeling to be able to hold the hands of two of the most famous and influential Britons of the twentieth century,’ said auction house royal specialist James Grinter.
