The auction took place in London on March 17. It is unknown who bought the famous outfit of the prince’s beloved. At the auction during which Middleton's dress was sold, two dresses from Prince William's mother, Princess Diana, also went under the hammer. From their sale they managed to gain 67 thousand pounds (77 thousand euros).

The outfit for Middleton, who was still a student at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland in 2002, was designed by design student Charlotte Todd. Todd's final garment was originally intended to be a skirt, but show organizers decided it would look better as a dress.

The British press has repeatedly written that the transparent outfit contributed to the development of the relationship between Middleton and Prince William, who was allegedly very impressed by the show with Kate's participation. The designer of the dress herself said that if this is really true, and the dress actually helped develop the romance between Kate and William, then she is very happy to feel involved in their happiness.

Prince William and Kate Middleton announced their engagement at the end of 2010. The wedding of a representative of the British royal family and his chosen one is scheduled for April 29, 2011. The ceremony will take place at Westminster Abbey.
