Royal honeymoon pic under hammer

Experts have said the photograph could make over £3,000

A photograph signed by Diana, Princess of Wales, of her and Prince Charles on honeymoon has been put up for auction.

The photo is to be auctioned in a charity sale next month, organised by Andrea Aston, of Milton Keynes, to raise money for Cancer Research.

The photo taken at Balmoral, Scotland, nine days after the couple married, is expected to fetch over £3,000.

On Friday, a bicycle owned by Diana as a child sold for £1,200 at an auction in Norfolk.

The photo was donated to the auction by a private collector, and is said to have originated from a member of the royal household.

It is of the couple exploring the Royal estate and is signed "lots of love, Diana".

Mrs Aston said: "I am told she rarely signed photographs and there are believed to be only a few signed photographs from the early days of her marriage to Prince Charles."

Mrs Aston, whose mother-in-law died of breast cancer, has organised a charity ball and auction, where the photo will be a star lot, to take place at the London Marriot Hotel, Grosvenor Square, London, on 9 June.
