The lady brought a plethora of personal photographs and memorabilia belonging to the royal family from all the way back in the 18th century.
Such items included a handwritten note by Princess Victoria, as well as a dance book and a mass of photographs.

"They're all incredibly personal items. How to value it…I don't know because there are lots of different items.
"This collection is not worth perhaps £300-£400, but rather in my estimation, £12,000," Geoffrey announced.
He explained that one specific stick pin which was made by one of the most famous goldsmiths in Russia at the time would fetch at least £10,000 by itself.
But before he could go any further, he paused to check that his guest was okay, as she was looking visibly shocked by what she was hearing.
"How's your heart?" he asked. "Mine's nearly gone!"
The owner of the incredible collection joked that she was "still there", before being told that her goods could bag her a whopping £22,000 in total.
Earlier in the show, a different guest was not phased when he was told his golf medal stash could sell for up to £30,000.
