The see-through dress that is said to have sparked Prince William’s interest in his bride-to-be Kate Middleton sold at auction in London on Thursday for a staggering £78,000.

Middleton strutted down the catwalk wearing the dress during a St Andrew’s University charity fashion show in 2002. Prince William reportedly paid £200 for a front row seat at the event and is said to have approached Middleton after the show.
