A collection of rare Rolls-Royces, including vehicles used by Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, is to be auctioned off in the UK. The eight cars are expected to attract combined bids of up to $6.4 million (4.9 million pounds) when they go under the hammer next month. Among the most anticipated lots is a 1953 Rolls-Royce Phantom IV, used by the Queen on state occasions and kept by the British royal family for more than 40 years. The vehicle, which has a top estimate of $2.6 million (2 million pounds), is the same model as the one used by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, on her wedding day in May.
