Princess Diana’s famous black sheep sweater is going to be up for sale very soon.
The late Princess of Wales’ original sweater was randomly discovered in storage more than 40 years after she wore it to then-Prince Charles’ polo match back in June 1981.
Charles and Diana — who was 19 when she wore the item — tied the knot the following month.
The red, white and black pullover is set to go up for auction in August, after Warm & Wonderful designers Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne discovered it earlier this year.
Diana had damaged the sweater and asked for a new one to be sent out. The original was then put in storage, and Osborne told People how she randomly stumbled across it one day.
Diana ended up wearing the new version for another one of Charles’ polo matches in 1983.

Osborne shared, “I was in the attic in February searching for a pattern, and I just happen to notice this old wine box in a corner — and there was a red sheep jumper wrapped in a cotton bedspread. It was well preserved, and I had a kind of Groundhog Day moment and thought, ‘Could this be the one?’ I looked at the cuff which had obviously been sewn back on, and I called Sal and said, ‘I think I’ve found the actual real Diana jumper!’”
Muir added, “We had just sort of forgotten about it,” as Osborne said: “We looked at all photographs of her wearing it, and we compared the two and we both felt certain that it was the actual one. We just knew because every jumper is different, so it was easy to see. So we called Sotheby’s!”
