Princess Diana's personally-owned and -worn Marks & Spencer St. Michael white acrylic cable-knit jumper sweater with ring-neck collar, size 18 (Euro 46-48), with label, "D. Spencer," sewn into the collar. This was likely worn by Diana during her early teenage years, and is accompanied by a photo of her wearing a similar white sweater (possibly this exact one). In fine condition, with a few small stains. Accompanied by a letter of provenance from Sally Fell, the head chef at Althorp, in part: "I was employed as head chef at Althorp House during the 1980s when Diana, Princess of Wales, was a regular visitor. During this period Raine Spencer was in the process of totally redecorating Althorp in her own style. As Diana now permanently resided in London, one of the rooms listed for redecoration was her old bedroom and the butler at the time, Carl Ackerman, was instructed to remove all of Diana's belongings and offer them to the staff, or dispose of them if no interest was shown. All the items were placed on a long table in the courtyard, and we the staff were invited to take what we wished, which is how I came to possess Diana's casual white sweater." As most of Diana's childhood clothing is held at Althorp, very few pieces of her clothing from this period have ever been offered for sale.
