The man who wrote Courtiers: Intrigue, Ambition and the Power Players Behind the House of Windsor told Us Weekly that he imagines the royals laughing about the purchase: “Laugh about it over the breakfast table and move on. [They] certainly wouldn’t be annoyed, I [don’t] think.”
How did Kim get her hands on the royal jewels (so to speak)? She outbid others at Sotheby’s auction Royal and Noble sale. TMZ later reported that the reality TV star and multitasking mom paid $200,000 for the diamond and amethyst encrusted bauble. Diana died at age 36 in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

Naim Attallah was the previous owner and he let Diana wear it in 1987, taking it to a new level of notoriety. Sotheby’s, stated that the necklace was one of Diana’s “favorite” accessories.
In a statement they said: “Through Attallah’s friendship with Princess Diana, he loaned it to her several times over a number of years. It is understood that the cross was only ever worn by the Princess and following her death, it was never seen in public again until now.”
