A Rolls-Royce which belonged to Princess Margaret for 22 years is expected to fetch up to £55,000 at auction this month.

The 1980 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith II is believed to have carried distinguished passengers during its time under Margaret’s custodianship, including the Queen, Diana Spencer before she married Prince Charles, and former US president Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy.

The car, which was tailored to Margaret’s personal specifications, is being sold with H&H Classics at IWM Duxford in Cambridgeshire on May 26.
