Queen Elizabeth II's fashion takes centre stage at new Buckingham Palace exhibition

A new exhibition entitled "Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style" will open at The King’s Gallery in Buckingham Palace on April 10th.

The largest display of Queen Elizabeth II's clothes ever organised, the collection features approximately 200 items, around half on display for the first time. Exhibition curator Caroline de Guitaut said she hopes visitors will come to better understand the role the late Queen played in "supporting British design, even from a young age in the 1940s when couture was in its fledgling state here in London".
