Netflix's successful series "The Crown" about the British royal house is coming to an end after six seasons that have been praised and awarded, but to the joy of the fans, the end of the television broadcast does not yet signify a complete separation from the royal family.
At the well-known London auction house Bonhams, a special display of costumes, memorabilia and accessories from the series was set up on January 11, which includes about 450 items put up for sale by the production company Left Bank Pictures and will be offered for purchase at an auction that will reach its peak on February 7 (150 items will be offered for sale at a live event to be held on February 7th, with an additional 300 items available for online purchase starting January 30th).

The items that will be offered for sale are diverse and include the Queen Mother's cocktail mixing stick alongside exact replicas of the green jaguar driven by Princess Diana's character and a golden carriage, and of course alongside other exact replicas of clothing items and some jewelry of the royals.
"This is not only an amazing opportunity to purchase items from this groundbreaking series, it is also the closest you will get to the real thing," said Charlie Thomas of the auction house about the items that, according to estimates, are expected to generate millions in income for the auction house, with the proceeds from the sale event that will be held live contributing to the establishment of a fund Scholarships at the National Film and Television School.
"The iconic costumes, scenery and props from the set of the series were meticulously researched and created by the best experts in the field with impressive attention to detail," added Thomas.
Among the outstanding items you can find the coronation dress of Queen Elizabeth including the grandiose 6.5 meter long robe that was recorded in the series in the first season and its price tag is estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000 pounds along with other suits and robes worn by the queen, an umbrella, a bell and a desk as well as the queen's bed alongside Designer dog beds are a tribute to the late Queen's beloved corgi dogs.

Princess Kate Middleton's famous see-through dress from the 2002 St Andrews University fashion show is also among the items with an estimated price of between £2,000 and £3,000.
Unsurprisingly, among the items that arouse the most interest are quite a few items from the late Princess Diana's coffin, including the "revenge dress", the tight black off-the-shoulder cocktail dress that Diana wore in 1994 to a gala evening at the Serpentine Gallery in London, the evening King Charles acknowledged (then in his title as a prince) in a television interview covered that he cheated on her with who is now his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, and is expected to be sold for an estimated amount between 8,000 and 12,000 pounds.
