Recently discovered Queen Victoria Undergarments will go up for auction, they include knickers, chemise, nightdress, and bloomers. The garments have been preserved by the family of one of Queen Victoria's Servants. The UK Telegraph story focuses on the fact that towards the end of her life Queen Victoria was morbidly obese with a 50 in waist, and a 66 in bust. The auctioneers are expecting a lot of bids from collectors of Queen Victoria memorabilia. The average female waist in UK is 33 inches. No mention of whether this is a charity auction in the story. BTW, I had to create a new category for this post- Royalty!
