Kate Middleton see-through dress joins Queen Victoria bloomer in collection

Prince William & Kate Middleton

THE Kate Middleton dress that won Prince William’s heart has been bought for a wealthy collector with an eye for ladies’ fashion.

David Gainsborough Roberts also owns the world’s largest collection of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, including her famous red sequinned dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and her £15,000 Niagara ‘wiggle dress’.

Kate’s £30 see-through slip, which caught William’s eye when she wore it in a university fashion show, was bought for £78,000 by Nicky Roberts as a present to his uncle.

Mr Gainsborough Roberts, who lives in the Channel Islands, revealed on BBC Radio Jersey that the dress would be sold to raise money for charity.

He said: “Miss Middleton is probably going to be the next Queen of England, so it is of historical importance – ­probably more important than Queen Victoria’s bloomers, which I have.”

Royal wedding snapshots — Dress drama and mug mix-up

Following is a selection of stories on the royal wedding that have appeared in newspapers and on websites in the last week.

The CopyKate:

Waving to the crowd, beaming William and Kate look very much in love. And their bond is much greater than that. Body language expert Judi James says they are perfectly in sync, making theirs an “industrial strength” relationship.

Pictures taken on recent visits to Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland show how in tune they are as they greet crowds in a near identical way.

Royal watchers believe Wills has been helping his fiancée with advice on public engagements. Now, whether they are waving, laughing or walking together, the couple often mirror each other perfectly. (the sun)

Kate ‘marries Prince Harry’ on souvenir mug:

It is one piece of memorabilia that even the most dedicated of royal enthusiasts may choose to avoid.

For beaming out from the side of this particular mug designed to celebrate the forthcoming royal nuptials are bride-to-be Kate Middleton - and her soon-to-be brother-in-law, Prince Harry.

Photographs of the pair are featured side by side, adorned with suitably royal flourishes and scrolls depicting their names. But few could fail to spot that the smartly dressed young man named “Will” is actually his red-headed brother. (the daily telegraph)

Kate Middleton dress fetches 65,000 pounds at auction:

A dress worn by Prince William’s fiancée Kate Middleton at a university fashion show in 2002 which reportedly sparked the royal’s interest in his bride-to-be fetched 65,000 pounds on Thursday.

Including commission, the see-through mesh slip dress designed by Charlotte Todd sold for 78,000 pounds. It had been expected to sell for 8,000-10,000 pounds. Todd, who was in the saleroom at Kerry Taylor Auctions in London, said she planned to put the proceeds towards buying a house with her husband.

“I am totally speechless, and feel very emotional,” she said. “I really didn’t think it would make that amount. I am planning to put some of the money towards a deposit for a house, but perhaps I may use some to change my career.”

Prince William calls NZ quake damage ‘unbelievable’:

The devastation caused by last month’s earthquake in New Zealand’s second-biggest city, Christchurch, took Prince William by surprise on Thursday.

The second in line to the throne toured the central area of the city, which is still closed to all but rescue workers, to see at first hand the impact of the magnitude 6.3 quake which struck on Feb 22, killing at least 166 people.

“The scale of it is unbelievable, it really does bring it home to you to see a building like that, it’s just so sad,” the prince said looking at the 26-storey Hotel Grand Chancellor, which is teetering at a dangerous angle after part of its foundations slumped.

William and Kate set up royal wedding charity fund:

William and Kate have set up a fund to allow well wishers who want to give them a wedding gift to donate money to charities they care about instead, royal officials said on Wednesday.

The couple has chosen 26 charities, which will benefit from the Royal Wedding Charitable Gift Fund, some of which are not well known or work in specific communities, St James’s Palace said.

Fears raised over ‘Glastonbury’ royal camp:

Plans to set up a camping site on one of London’s biggest commons for visitors to next month’s royal wedding have been greeted with horror by local residents, who fear it will resemble the mud-plagued Glastonbury music festival.

“Camp Royale” is to be set up on Clapham Common in south London, offering what organisers says will be a cheap alternative for those who want to be in the British capital for celebrations to mark the marriage on April 29. The “Big Royal Wedding Sleepover,” as it calls itself, will be open from April 28 until May 1 at a cost of 75 pounds for three nights.

But with big screens and capacity for 10,000 people on a common mostly surrounded by housing, not everyone is impressed, and local residents have urged their Member of Parliament (MP) to intervene. reuters

Kate Middleton's risque dress fetches £78,000

The see-through dress which sparked Prince William's interest in Kate Middleton sold tonight for £78,000.

The knitted gown, worn by Miss Middleton at a University of St Andrews fashion show attended by William in 2002, was auctioned in a packed central London sales room.

Auctioneer Kerry Taylor had estimated that the garment, which leaves little to the imagination, would sell for £8,000 to £10,000.

Sold for a snip at £78,000: Kate Middleton's see-through dress that 'caught a prince's eye, and then his heart'

Kate Middleton

It is a commonly-known myth that lightning never strikes twice.

But that has not stopped hundreds of potential buyers from all over the world hoping the theory is wrong in this case.

The see-through dress that apparently first attracted Prince William to Kate Middleton was sold for an astonishing £78,000 this afternoon, as those hoping to bag their own Prince Charming - or just wanting a piece of fashion history - bid frantically for the slip at an auction in central London.

The dress was eventually bought, for £65,000 plus a buyer's premium, by a man at the back of the sales room, who would not give his name but said the purchase was on behalf of an individual named 'Nick from Jersey'.

The mystery bidder, who wore a quilted khaki jacket and glasses and looked to be in his mid-30s, said of the buyer: 'He thinks it's an iconic piece and is very happy with the purchase.'

The now infamous dress that Kate wore at a 2002 charity fashion show while at St Andrew's University has attracted attention from across the world.

Interest in the dress - which was originally intended to be a skirt worn over a slip - reflects the furore surrounding every outfit Kate has worn in public since her engagement was announced - and even before.

The black and turquoise knitted silk tube, made by University of the West of England fashion graduate Charlotte Todd, was the highlight of today's central London auction as Kate-mania sweeps the world ahead of the royal wedding.

Before the bidding started auctioneer Kerry Taylor, who had valued the dress at £8,000 - £10,000, described it as the slip that 'caught a prince's eye and then his heart.'

She added: 'I am quite astonished by the amount of interest from all over the world, from Korea to Japan to America.

'Literally, there's global interest in the dress and that reflects the interest in Kate Middleton.'

'I feel quite sorry for her - if you're getting this kind of response to a dress that she wore for 10 minutes all those years ago, it's quite extraordinary.

'But we've not had Prince William on the phone yet. I'm very disappointed,' Taylor joked.

She had started the sale at £20,000 and, for a few minutes, took ever-increasing bids made by phone via staff who sat along one side of the sales room.

But when the price reached around £50,000, the battle for the dress turned into a two-way tussle between the man at the back of the room and some bids pre-registered with the auctioneer.

When the figure hit £65,000, Taylor waited a few moments before ending the auction to applause from the many buyers in the room.

The dress was one of 250 lots including including a Zandra Rhodes gown and a Catherine Walker formal white number, both worn by Princess Diana.

Charlotte Todd, 31, has watched the value of her dress - which cost her just £30 to make - soar ever since the couple got together.

Immediately after the announcement of William and Kate's engagement, Todd turned down an offer of £1,000 for the dress and vowed to hold onto it forever.

Now, with the royal wedding just over one month away, it seems that the temptation of an £8,000 - £10,000 valuation was just too good to resist.

Todd's official excuse for declaring that 'the moment is right,' though, was that the dress is so fragile, the responsibility of looking after it was just too much.

The dress had been sitting in a box at her parents' house for the past eight years.

Todd said of her creation: 'If it is true that my design helped change the prince's interest in Kate from platonic to romantic as has been reported, then I am pleased to have played a part - however minor.

'I never would have imagined as I sat knitting this piece that one day it would be so important.'

After the sale, Todd said: 'I'm completely shocked, I need to sit down and get my head round it.

'I just wanted to get out and get some fresh air during the sale. I wasn't expecting it. I was turning round to see who was at the back of the room and what was happening.

'"But I didn't like to get my hopes up, I was thinking it might not sell. I wasn't thinking of a sum of money in my head.

Asked what she would do with the money, Ms Todd, who was joined by her husband, Ric Brady, 26, who works in a coffee shop, and her mother, Liz Todd, said: 'We will probably put it towards a house because we're still renting.

'Maybe a change of career, maybe I should rustle up some more dresses?'

It is estimated that the see-through creation could be worth up to £100,000 when Kate becomes Queen. So perhaps Nick from Jersey's £78,000 was £78,000 well spent after all.
