On July 7 and 8, Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, is auctioning off heirlooms from Althorp, the ancestral family estate. The 761 lots, plus several Old Master paintings in a separate sale, are expected to fetch well over $20 million, meant to relieve the family’s cost of upkeep on Althorp.
