'The Crown' Auction Nets Over $2 Million for Film and TV Scholarships

The auction of props and costumes from Netflix's 'The Crown' exceeded expectations, raising funds for the National Film and Television School.

A 1987 Jaguar XJ-SC Cabriolet, used to portray Princess Diana's car in the series, fetched the highest price at £70,250 ($88,600).
The auction included a wide array of items, such as a replica of the Gold State Coach and Princess Diana's 'revenge' dress, attracting sizeable bids.
All 473 props up for auction sold, with the total proceeds amounting to around £1.7M ($2.15M), significantly above the pre-sale estimate.
Proceeds from the auction will fund at least 50 scholarships at the National Film and Television School over the next two decades.
The auction followed a three-week exhibition at Bonhams New Bond Street, drawing 30,000 visitors.
