What to expect

Nestled within Kensington Gardens, Kensington Palace has been home to members of the royal family since the 17th century. As you pass through the King’s State Apartments, a series of opulent rooms such as the Privy Chamber, Cupola Room, and Drawing Room, you'll step back in time to relive the grandeur and rituals of court life. Descending the Queen’s Staircase into the beautifully manicured gardens, you can wander along the Cradle Walk and Sunken Garden, taking in the elegance of royal living in one of the most regal settings.

From March to November 2025, an exclusive display of outfits will provide a unique glimpse into royal fashion. Featuring glamorous debutante dresses and rare items like Queen Elizabeth II’s childhood clothing, the collection spans from everyday wear to royal ceremonial attire, with some pieces on public display for the first time. As you explore these garments, you’ll uncover not only the royal family’s style but also the fascinating stories of those who worked closely with them. From dazzling public appearances to personal moments, this exhibition reveals the intricate rules and occasional rule-breaking behind royal dress codes.
