Last week we wrote to you outlining our plans for the reopening of our indoor spaces from 19 May onwards. Today we're delighted to announce our plans for Kensington Palace.
The palace will reopen on 26 May. From 3 June, we're inviting you to step into the rarefield world of the atelier in our new exhibition exploring the intimate relationship between fashion designer and royal client.
Titled Royal Style in the Making, the display will feature never-before-seen items from some of the most celebrated royal couturiers of the 20th century, set alongside examples of the glittering gowns and stylish tailoring created for three generations of royal women.
Among the star items on display will be Diana, Princess of Wales's wedding dress, complete with its spectacular sequin encrusted train, which remains the longest in royal history; and a rare surviving toile for the 1937 coronation gown of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Pre-booking is essential.
Exhibition in partnership with Garrard and generously supported by the Blavatnik Family Foundation.
