A pair of Queen Victoria's 38in (97cm) linen bloomers have been sold in an auction of royal memorabilia in Essex.
The item, among 150 lots which were on sale in Colchester, was sold to a collector from Braintree for £360.
James Grinter, from Reeman Dansie auctioneers, said people liked to collect clothing and "you can't get more personal than royal pants".
He added: "We commented that Queen Victoria would not have been amused - they were enormous and very rare."
Bids in the royal auction were made from around the world.
The most expensive item sold was a 15.5cm (6in) gilded presentation carriage clock, engraved with the inscription "Presented by HRH The Princess of Wales". It fetched £4,900.
Big Knickers!

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
