Audrey Hepburn's sons are reportedly involved in a legal battle over her belongings, including clothes and awards, 22 years after her death.

The star of Breakfast at Tiffany's left a storage locker full of items to be split equally between her two sons from different marriages.

Sean Ferrer, 54, the actress's son from her first marriage to the American actor Mel Ferrer, and Luca Dotti, 45, from her second marriage to Andrea Dotti, an Italian psychiatrist, were to decide who would take what but cannot agree, the news website TMZ reported.

The items are still at the Los Angeles Fine Arts and Wine Storage Company, and a judge is having to decide, it was reported.

The memorabilia includes jewellery, hats, carves, movie costumes, scripts and awards. Hepburn won a best actress Oscar for Roman Holiday and three Baftas. She also won Emmy and Tony awards.

The actress spent much of her later years working with Unicef as a goodwill ambassador in Ethiopia, Somalia, Turkey and South America. In 1992 she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the United States' highest civilian award.

She died of a rare form of cancer in 1993, aged 63, and was buried in Switzerland.

Sean Ferrer is patron of a charity that provides support to cancer victims.

In 2013 Luca Dotti recalled his close relationship with his mother, telling Vanity Fair she had never thought herself beautiful. He said: "She thought she had a big nose and big feet, and she was too skinny and not enough breast. She would look in the mirror and say, 'I don't understand why people see me as beautiful'.

"She was always a little bit surprised by the efforts women made to look young. She was actually very happy about growing older because it meant more time for herself, more time for her family."
