A suitcase containing unwanted clothes of Elizabeth Taylor, sent by Richard Burton to his sister in 1971, is set to be auctioned. Along with the suitcase, a letter from Burton suggests donating the clothes to a jumble sale or to 'old colliers.' The auction, featuring various Welsh memorabilia, is scheduled for Thursday and the items are expected to fetch up to £1,300.

Watch for the auction's outcome on Thursday, as the suitcase and letter could spark interest in Burton and Taylor's legacy. The sale may also highlight the cultural significance of Welsh memorabilia, potentially influencing future auctions of celebrity artifacts.
