BBC NewsA skirt, bodice and bloomers once owned by Queen Victoria are to go under the hammer in Derbyshire.
The clothing was handed to royal photographer Alexander Lamont Henderson more than a century ago and passed down the generations.
His great-great-grandson Roderick Williams, from Norwich, said he was selling the items - which also include a pair of boots believed to have belonged to the monarch - as he needed to make some space.
Image source, HansonsHe said: "[My grandfather] worked as a royal photographer for Queen Victoria up to her death in 1901 and we think the clothes were probably given to him by servants in the royal household, perhaps in return for taking photographs of them."
Auctioneer Charles Hanson said: “Famously, after the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert in 1861, she [Queen Victoria] wore black for the rest of her life and the bodice and skirt we’re selling are black.
“Her leather ankle boots show how dainty and narrow her feet were."
The items will be auctioned individually in Etwall on Tuesday with guide prices ranging from £800 to £2,000.

BBC NewsA cat has been rescued after it was trapped in a house for nearly a month following the death of its owner.
The RSPCA said it was unaware of Noel's existence when an inspector first visited the house in Ashby-de-la-Zouch in November.
Two cats, called Sandy and Peach, were rescued but Noel was unintentionally left behind.
Image source, RSPCA BurtonMore than three weeks later, a neighbour called the RSPCA after spotting another cat inside the empty house.
The RSPCA said: "Poor Noel had been alone in the property for almost a month.
"Luckily he was quick-thinking and had helped himself to bags of food, which were found torn apart."
When he was rescued, he was "incredibly scared and traumatised".
He's now been reunited with Sandy and Peach and the charity said he's taking comfort in having them back with him.
They're now looking for someone who can adopt all three cats to avoid splitting them up again.
