Princess Diana’s Iconic Sheep Sweater Sells for Record $1.1 Million at Auction

Princess Diana's black sheep sweater sold for $1.1 million at auction, setting a new record for the highest price paid for an item worn by the late royal.
The sweater was first worn by Diana in 1981 and became an iconic part of her personal style before marrying Prince Charles.
The original sweater was found by its designers, Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne, in the attic of their knitwear shop decades after making it.
The auction smashed previous records both for royal memorabilia and for sweaters sold at auction.
The sweater's black sheep motif is seen as a nod to Diana feeling like an outsider within the royal family.
