LONDON, July 12 – Albanians have been participating in an auction in London for a collection of paintings, antiques and assorted household items owed by the aristocratic family of the late Princess Diana. They sold for a total of 21.1 million pounds, according to the Christie’s auctioneers.
All the items offered at the three-day sale once belonged at Althorp House, the Spencer family’s country estate in Northhamptonshire, and in Spencer House, their historic London home. While none of the lots were owned by Diana, many have been in her family for centuries.
The auction house said the sale attracted heavy international demand from clients who bid on the Internet, including some from China, Albania and Kazakhstan.
