‎Property from the Collection of Her Royal Highness The Princess Margaret Countess of Snowdon: Volume I Jewellery and Fabergé Tuesday 13 June 2006; Volume II Furniture and Works of Art Wednesday 14 June 2006‎

‎London: Christie's International Media Division. Fine. 2006. First Edition. Softcover. both volumes in Fine condition each protected by a new mylar jacket. color and B&W photographs Lavishly-produced two-volume catalogue of the two-day auction held at Christie's London of Princess Margaret's lifetime accumulation of Royal Stuff. The Daily Mail reported that the first day of the sale was "was packed with more than 1000 bidders in four sweltering rooms including several ranks of staff assigned to take telephone bids from at least 500 potential customers." The swag was flogged by her son Lord Linley reportedly "to raise cash for crippling inheritance taxes" and it was to put it mildly a frenzy: "Trinkets that were expected to fetch only £40 or £50 commanded prices in the thousands. Once-treasured items valued in mere hundreds of pounds suddenly soared into five figure bids. The surge of interest was brought about by what observers labelled the 'princess premium' - that hard-to-predict public interest in matters royal and historic. Most estimates said the sale would raise around £3 million in total but that figure was exceeded after the first few hours today." The paper also reported that "the scramble to scoop up Margaret mementoes is also certain to widen a bitter rift between Linley and his father Lord Snowdon Antony Armstrong-Jones divorced from Margaret in 1978 who is said to be 'seething' about the sale. One former friend of the princess said today it was 'too vulgar for words' adding: 'It has all the dignity of a royal car boot sale. They might as well have stuck up banners saying ''everything must go''.'" And one cannot help but noting that the consignor of all this stuff Lord Linley aka David Linley having been on the board of directors of Christie's UK since 2005 became the firm's chairman about six months after this sale took place.
