The blue 1970s Ladies Raleigh Traveller bicycle, which the young Princess frequently rode around London before her marriage to Prince Charles in 1981, was expected to fetch £20,000 when it was auctioned on 28 April at Sussex-based Burstow & Hewett, however, the final sale price exceeded this and sold for more than double.
