BOSTON - Online bidding is winding down for dozens of items with direct connections to Britain's late Princess Diana.
Eighty items being sold at auction 20 years after her death in a Paris car crash include articles of clothing, jewelry, signed papers and photographs. There's even a piece of her wedding cake still stored in a commemorative box.
Boston-based RR Auction is handling the sale, which ends Wednesday evening.
Auction house executive vice-president Bobby Livingston says interest in Diana memorabilia remains high because "she still resonates all over the world." He says the items "give you a little snapshot into this beautiful woman's life."
The items include belongings Diana donated to charity months before her death on Aug. 31, 1997.
Bidding began last week.
