A pair of racing gloves once worn by Princess Diana during a fun karting outing with her sons is up for auction.
The late Princess visited Buckmore Park in Kent with Princes William and Harry for a private karting session on July 9, 1992.
The red Nomex gloves up for auction are the ones she wore while driving.
According to Iconic Auctioneers: "First auctioned to raise funds for the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital and subsequently featured on the TV show Four Rooms around 12 years ago, this is the first time they have been offered for auction in over 25 years."
The gloves are presented in a frame with a plaque that reads, "Worn by H.R.H Princess Diana Princess of Wales 9-7-92."
A Certificate of Authenticity notes: "Princes William and Harry brought several of their school friends for the day."
Their estimated value ranges from $8,916 to $11,464.
The gloves are set to be auctioned on August 25 at the Silverstone Festival.
