Queen's Missing Underwear will be auctioned off in the United States

In 1968, during a private flight to Chile, Queen Elizabeth II reportedly left behind a pair of tights—now set to be auctioned in the United States. The item, expected to fetch at least $9,000, has sparked interest among royal collectors and history enthusiasts. According to a report from the “Thirty Mile District” website on December 5th, the undergarment was discovered by Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi, a wealthy Florida-based collector known as the “Baron.” He acquired the item from a friend and kept it for decades. Recently, after the 88-year-old Baron passed away this June, his collection is being put up for sale, with the Queen’s embroidered underwear standing out as one of the most valuable pieces. The piece features the royal crest, making it a rare and historically significant artifact. This isn’t the first time royal undergarments have made headlines—back in 2008, an oversized pair belonging to Queen Victoria was auctioned off. The similarity in both the item and the starting price suggests that this latest offering may follow a similar path. While some may find the idea of royal undergarments being sold amusing, others see it as a unique opportunity to own a piece of British royal history. Whether it will attract serious bidders or just curious buyers remains to be seen. With the auction approaching, the world will be watching closely. This story highlights how even the most mundane items can become historical treasures when tied to a famous figure. It also raises questions about what else might be hidden in the private collections of those who once came into contact with royalty. As the auction date draws near, anticipation is growing for what could be one of the most talked-about sales in recent years.
