The underwear - which has a 56-inch (142-centimeter) waist - has been added to Britain's Royal Ceremonial Dress Collection at Kensington Palace. It has a matching chemise, is embroidered with a "VR" and is believed to date from the 1890s. Queen Victoria had a 20-inch (51-centimeter) waist as a young woman. But curator Alexandra Kim said yesterday "over the years, particularly having given birth to nine children, that changed entirely". The collection purchased the bloomers for 600 pounds ($993) earlier this summer.
