Someone paid $100,000 for a replica of Princess Diana’s Eagles jacket autographed by Kylie Kelce, wife of Eagles center Jason Kelce.

The jacket was auctioned off to benefit the Eagles Autism Foundation, writes Earl Hopkins for The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The Kelly green varsity jacket was the highlight of an “intense bidding war” during the two-week charity auction, according to the PhillyVoice.

Bidders included actor and longtime Eagles fan Rob McElhenney, co-creator of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

He bid $62,000 in honor of Jason Kelce’s jersey number 62.

The bid closed at $100,000, but the jacket winner has yet to be announced.

The sale supports the Eagles Autism Foundation, which was formed to increase support, research, and awareness of autism.

The auction raised more than $22 million for the Foundation’s Eagles Autism Challenge.

The Mitchell & Ness replica green and silver jacket, valued at $400, sold out within hours of its release earlier this month to excited fans.

In January 1991, Princess Diana was seen wearing a Kelly green varsity-style jacket outside London’s Wetherby Prep School. The princess met Jack Edelstein, the statistician for the Eagles, in 1982.

She modeled the jacket for a June 1994 People magazine cover.
