Exciting pants?

A pair of bloomers that apparently belonged to Queen Victoria are to be auctioned off in Derby.

The knickers have a 50in (127cm) waist and date from the 1890s, which indicates the monarch had a large girth as she approached her 70s.

Hanson's Auctioneers are selling the bloomers on 30 July and expect them to fetch at least £500.

The knickers, which come from a family in Lincolnshire, were owned by a lady-in-waiting to the Queen.

Auctioneer Charles Hanson said: "These pants, considering their provenance and pedigree, are very exciting."

  4. Extract the DNA. And bring her forth to this GodForsaken Land, and the E back in English, by God.
