Queen Elizabeth’s Panties in a Twist
A pair of used panties once owned by Queen Elizabeth II were all set to be sold to a British auction house — but TMZ has learned the sale is stalled because of Prince William ‘s wedding. You may remember — Hansons Auctioneers and Valuers wanted to buy the royal bloomers from the estate of the late “Baron” Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi — who got the panties after the Queen left them on a plane in 1968. TMZ spoke with Charles Hanson — who tells us, “Out of respect and courtesy for a person of such dignity and rank,” he doesn’t want the deal to go down until after the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton . Meanwhile — the late Baron’s estate has already put up most of their items on eBay — and plan on auctioning the panties in the U.S. if the Brits don’t act fast.
