King Charles and Princess Diana's 1981 wedding champagne hits auction block for €80,000
A magnum of Dom Pérignon champagne from King Charles and Princess Diana's 1981 royal wedding is now up for sale. The rare bottle, expected to fetch as much as €80,000, is being auctioned by a Danish firm. Experts confirm the champagne remains perfectly drinkable after over four decades.
The royal wedding of Charles and Diana took place on 29 July 1981, with the champagne served to guests at the grand reception. The bottle now on offer has been stored carefully since then, preserving its quality. Wine specialists have examined it and assured potential buyers of its condition.
This isn't the first time memorabilia from the royal wedding has gone under the hammer. In 2018, a slice of the couple's wedding cake sold for $1,000. The cake itself was described as a traditional 'English cake', filled with three types of raisins, citron, and orange peel, all covered in marzipan. A year later, another piece of the same cake was auctioned.
The market for unusual celebrity items has seen high prices before. In one notable case, a half-eaten sandwich once nibbled by Britney Spears sold for €24,000. Collectors appear willing to pay significant sums for items with a famous past.
The Dom Pérignon magnum will go to the highest bidder in the coming weeks. If sold at its estimated value, it will join other royal wedding relics that have drawn strong interest. The auction highlights how items tied to major historical events continue to attract buyers.
