The netting dress that snared a prince
The transparent black number, which Kate wore during a charity fashion show at Saint Andrews University in Scotland in 2002, went under the hammer at a packed sales room in central London.
A man at the back of the sales room who refused to give his name said he bought it on behalf of an individual he would identify only as "Nick from Jersey".
While speculation swirls about the dress Kate will wear for the royal wedding in Westminster Abbey on April 29, the most famous garment she has worn so far has spent years squashed in a wardrobe full of junk.
Kate's fashion choices now are much more sedate
Kate, then aged 20, strode down the catwalk wearing the knitted mesh slip-dress and black underwear during the student show nine years ago when she and William were students at the university. William had paid �200 for a front-row seat and soon afterwards their friendship blossomed into romance. Some reports suggest he first tried to kiss her at a party later that evening.
The strapless dress was designed by Charlotte Todd, who was a fashion and textile design student in 2000 at the University of the West of England when she produced it for a project entitled "The Art of Seduction".
The dress cost �30 to put together and was originally intended as a skirt. AFP Relaxnews
