Breaking News:Buckingham Palace Issues Significant Update Amid Kate Middleton Cancer Battle
Kate Middleton is receiving an amazing honour in the most beautiful way as Buckingham Palace is set to unveil a collection of previously unseen royal photographs in its latest exhibition at The King’s Gallery, now renamed in honour of King Charles III.
This historic exhibition, titled “Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography,” will showcase over 150 items spanning from the 1920s to the present day.
The display marks the debut of personal photographs from the Royal Collection, offering a unique glimpse into 100 years of royal photography.
Curator Alessandro Nasini shared with GB News, “We are going from very private and personal [photographs] all the way to [King Charles III’s] coronation portraits, so you’ve got a full range of material.”
Intimate family moments, such as a never-before-seen image of four royal mothers—Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Princess Alexandra, and the Duchess of Kent—holding their newborn babies, will be on display alongside a private handwritten letter from Princess Margaret to her sister, Queen Elizabeth II.
The exhibition will also feature a more relaxed engagement photograph of the Prince and Princess of Wales, as well as a picture from their wedding day.
Never-before-seen proofs, sent to the Royal Family to choose their favourite images, provide a behind-the-scenes insight into how iconic royal portraits were created.
A striking highlight of the exhibition is an image of the Princess of Wales that bears a “striking resemblance” to an 1864 portrait of Alexandra, Princess of Wales, by Franz Xaver Winterhalter.
