Lichfield was the only photographer allowed to take informal photographs of the royal family and their guests at the Palace following their wedding ceremony at St. Paul's Cathedral.
"The candid and unrehearsed moments of the fairytale wedding captured in these photographs show a seldom seen side of the Royal family," said Bobby Livingston, Executive VP at RR Auction.
"It's not surprising that photographs commanded such an impressive figure— the public adored Princess Diana and these never-before-seen photos have an incredible amount of sentimental value for the millions of fans that remember the people's princess."
The released photos also showed Diana in her famous wedding dress being arranged in the Throne Room for official photographs, were left out of the late Princess' and Prince Charles' wedding album.
