One of two surviving copies is to go under the hammer in May at London auction house Sotheby's, a couple of days before the current monarch King Charles III is crowned at London's Westminster Abbey.

Sotheby's said five copies of the declaration were made, with the only other surviving one kept in the parliamentary archives.
