Pearl earings, a gift from the ‘playboy’ King Carol II of Romania to his mistress, Elena Lupescu are being auctioned tomorrow, estimate £500,000.00
The huge natural pearls are said to be among the biggest in the world.
A British friend of Ms Lupescu inherited the pearls when she died in 1977 and had no idea of their worth and never wore them as they were not to her taste.

Will Prince Radu buy them for Crown Princess Margarita I wonder?
