Royal bloomers' wide-spread

A pair of bloomers that once belonged to Queen Victoria have been sold for 4,500 pounds at an auction 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 old age.
It was thought the bloomers would fetch �500 but a Canadian buyer spent �4,500 on the pants which are monogrammed with VR for Victoria Regina.
