With 133, 500km (83, 000 miles) on the clock from trips to polo matches and other royal duties, an unassuming Ford Escort once owned and driven by Princess Diana is set to go under the hammer later in June.

Prince Charles gave the Ford Escort to his fiancee in May 1981, two months before their wedding, according to the auction house Reeman Dansie in the English town of Colchester.
