Princess Diana's 1981 engagement gift is all set to be auctioned off. According to latest reports, Diana's 1981 Ford Escort Ghia Saloon car was gifted to her by Prince Charles back in May 1981 as an engagement gift and two months before their wedding at the iconic St Paul's Cathedral in London. Now, this stunning silver car is all set to be auctioned off later this month. 

Princess Diana used the car until 1982 and then sold it to a private owner. For the last 20 years or so, the car has been stored in a perfect condition by a "great admirer" of Diana, who has largely kept the vehicle safely stowed away in a garage. According to a report in BBC, the striking silver car is likely to fetch between £30,000 and £40,000 at the auction which will be held at Reeman Dansie's Royalty, Antiques and Fine Art Sale in Essex on 29 June. The forthcoming sale had attracted a great deal of inquiries, particularly from the US. Harry and Meghan named their newborn daughter, who arrived on Friday, Lilibet 'Lili' Diana, paying tribute to both the Queen and Harry's late mother.
