The dress – an Imperial Mantle and red Coronation robe – has an estimate of €23,000 to €46,000, as does the No10 Downing Street facade.

Other items include the blue ruffled gown that actress Emma Corrin wore while portraying Charles and Diana’s tour of Australia, and the green gown Claire Foy wore in season two for a ballroom scene.

A replica of Princess Diana’s 1987 XJ-S Jaguar is also up for sale at €17,000, and her engagement ring for €3,500.

More than 200 members of the public will be able to attend the live auction. All proceeds are going to the UK’S National Film and Television School to set up Left Bank Pictures – The Crown Scholarshi­p, which will to fund training for students.

Andy Harries, chief executive of the production company and executive producer of The Crown, said: “We want to invest the profits of this magnificen­t auction into the next generation of talent.”
