King Charles III, accompanied by Queen Camilla and his cousin Lady Sarah Chatto, visited a new exhibition celebrating the life and style of the late Queen Elizabeth II at the King's Gallery in Buckingham Palace on Monday evening. The visit marked the start of a series of events commemorating what would have been the late monarch's 100th birthday.
The exhibition, titled Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style, showcases over 300 items from the Queen's wardrobe, including her wedding dress from 1947, her coronation gown, and the dress she wore for the 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony. Charles, dressed in a pinstriped suit, was seen smiling as he viewed the displays, while Camilla wore a matching blue dress and black heels.
During the tour, the royal couple met with contemporary fashion designers, including Erdem Moralıoğlu, and students from the King's Foundation programmes. They were also joined by Dame Sarah Troughton, Tim Knox, and former ladies-in-waiting Lady Sarah Hussey and Dame Annabelle Whitehead.
Lady Sarah Chatto, daughter of the late Princess Margaret, shared a warm greeting with Charles at the event. The exhibition, curated by Caroline de Guitaut, highlights the late Queen's influence on fashion, with de Guitaut noting that she was a trendsetter who supported British design. The display is open to the public until 18 October.
