20230320_zia_c218_007 March 20, 2023, London, United Kingdom: A â??Royal Bagâ?? used by legendary politician Betty Boothroyd is set for auction..Baroness Boothroyd, who passed away aged 93 on February 23, 2023, used the bag - which bears her name - during her career at the heart of British politics. She overturned 700 years of parliamentary tradition in 1992 when she became the first woman to be elected Speaker of the House of Commons..Chris Kirkham, associate director of Hansons London, where the canvas bag will be offered on March 25, said: â??Betty Boothroyd was a remarkable woman in every sense . In the wake of her passing, we feel privileged to offer this exceptional memento, used by a former MP who, over time, became a national treasure..â??I had the privilege of liaising with the baroness when she auctioned around 70 personal treasures through Hansons London in 2021. She had to let go of mementos when she downsized from her London apartment to a cottage in Cambridgeshire..â??It was a wonderful experience. She was such a character. We were all deeply saddened to hear of her loss..â??Now we have an opportunity to remind the nation of why she was so special. The briefcase-style item is a â??Royal bagâ??, and rightly so considering her phenomenal career. It is labelled with her name and has a guide price of £70-£100. However, it may well fetch a higher price given the renewed interest in her astonishing career following her passing..â??We know this from the previous sale of her items. Her popularity blended with political provenance proved irresistible to bidders. For example, a 20th century Papier-mâché box given to her as a gift by Russian president Boris Yeltsin, soared to £2,400 - 48 times its £50 estimate..â??Another item to excel was a large limited-edition figure of Lawrence of Arabia. It made £1,250 from a guide price of £250-£350. It was given to the baroness when she was president of the All-Par (Credit Ima
