LA based Julien's Auction will bring the Princess of Wales largest collection to be displayed for its only public exhibition in Europe in Newbridge, Co Kildare before heading to The Peninsula Beverly Hills for a live and online auction by Julien's on Thursday, June 26 at 10am.
The exhibition opens June 7 and will run through June 17.
Princess Diana's Style & A Royal Collection will offer over 200 extraordinary pieces, many of which have never before been available to the public including Diana's most celebrated and iconic gowns, suits, shoes, handbags and accessories seen in photographs.
Fans can also view rare and regal pieces from British royal history, including couture garments from the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and historic items belonging to Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen Mother, and royal treasures dating as far back as the 19th century.
Last year, Julien's Auctions sold a ballet-length Jacques Azagury gown worn by the princess in Florence, Italy on April 23 1985.
It fetched an astonishing $1,148,080, a new record for a Diana garment.

New York's No.1 attraction on TripAdvisor has opened in the UK – and I was one of the first to visit
'YOU'D make a great surveillance officer. Have you ever considered joining the FBI?' It's not every day you hear those words. But then again, this isn't your average day out. 10 SPYGAMES test your physical abilities and spy stealth Credit: Jenna Stevens I was deep inside SPYSCAPE, a new First opening in New York, it is one of the top ranked attractions in the city and if you've ever fancied yourself the next Designed with help from ex-British Intelligence and leading psychologists, SPYSCAPE (and its adrenaline-pumping sibling, SPYGAMES) makes for an all-round exhilarating physical and mental challenge. It's part team games, part Read more on UK attractions Whilst SPYGAMES tests your reflexes in physical team challenges, SPYSCAPE analyses your mind, assigning you the spy role that best suits you. By the end of the afternoon, I'd walk away with my own personalised spy profile - revealing exactly what kind of secret agent I'd make. I kicked off my mission with SPYGAMES, where teams of 2-5 people battle it out across a range of heart-racing physical and mind-bending challenges. After strapping on my interactive wristband and creating my spy avatar (a cute cartoon version of me), my partner and I joined forces to create our gaming squad. Most read in News Travel As we headed down the corridor illuminated by neon lights, what followed was a series of physical challenges that burned enough energy to have me ditching the evening gym sesh. Our first task? Cipher Sequenc e - a frantic Indoor UK attraction is the 'world's first amazement park' with adult-ony nights 10 Precision, foresight, accuracy - all key skills for a secret agent Credit: Jenna Stevens Glowing squares illuminated beneath our feet - the task was to eliminate all squares by strategically jumping on them in the right order. My speed and response time were my best skills, but it turns out I'm more stealth than strategist. My foresight cracked under time pressure, and let's just say my score didn't make the leaderboards… But I soon bounced back with Peak Protocol . This was a full-body stealth and agility test that had me scaling walls like Tom Cruise clinging to the Burj Khalifa (give or take a few thousand feet). 10 You may not be high-up, but holding on is harder than it looks... Credit: Jenna Stevens Chasing my teammate around the climbing wall like a Mission Impossible montage, my climbing skills came in handy for this task. I racked up a whopping 14,552 points and landed in the top 12 per cent of players. Not bad for a desk jockey. Having discovered physical tasks were my secret strength, I may or may not have convinced my teammate to take me on in a 1v1 speed race . Stealth Matrix was the most cinematic game yet - a full on laser-dodging mission that made me forget who I really was and go full spy-mode. Stood at one end of a pitch-black room, suddenly neon green lasers crisscrossed the space like something out of Entrapment. 10 Super stealth - dodging these laser beams was a-near impossible mission Credit: Jenna Stevens I charged in with confidence, but my long legs betrayed me. One wrong step and I triggered a sneaky laser pointed at my ankle, blowing my cover in seconds. But after slaying the physical tasks with stealth, it was time to get my brain analysed. We moved from SPYGAMES into SPYSCAPE - an interactive Spy museum that analyses your spy-chology as you wind your way through its rooms. 10 The spy-themed museum was fascinating Credit: Jenna Stevens You begin by answering a series of questions and puzzles that quiz you on everything from social skills, to how risky you are. The questions were designed with the help of British Intelligence's former Head of Training, as well as top psychologists - so your secret agent skills are assessed with some serious precision. I then jumped into a secret booth that tested my lie-detecting skills. Closely watching video interviews , I had to decide if the individual was telling the truth or a lie. 10 Top tips for spotting a liar - this behaviour can be a dead giveaway Credit: Jenna Stevens After scoring top marks, a voice boomed over me 'Ever thought about joining the FBI?'. Yes, mysterious speaker voice, quite frankly I have wondered. After walking through displays of real-life spy stories and tales of code-cracking breakthroughs, I faced my next task. Receiving instructions over a telephone, I conducted surveillance over a series of cameras. Sharp 10 I received careful instructions over the telephone Credit: Jenna Stevens 10 I was confident in the camera surveillance task! Credit: Jenna Stevens Finally, I entered the last room to receive my complete spy profile. My every move had been tracked, my skills observed, my answers analysed. And now, the results were in… I was an AGENT HANDLER - somebody who runs, manages and oversees agents. So basically the spy of all spies - pretty cool, if I do say so myself. My top skills were balance, foresight and precision - I guess it's time I start 10 Agent Handlers are composed, curious and empathetic Credit: Jenna Stevens Tickets for the SPYSCAPE experience are £23 per adult and £20 for kids. SPYGAMES costs the same for 50 minutes of gameplay instead. Or you can combine both experiences, like I did, for £35 per person. 10 All of the spy types come with their own cute cartoon representative Credit: Jenna Stevens
