Dress Codes

One of the biggest plus points of being a royal must be your access to some of the finest threads in the land. Over the centuries, our monarchy and their associates have pulled off some looks and a new exhibition at Kensington Palace will share some of the best and most interesting royal ‘fits. ‘Dress Codes’ spans 500 years of royal and court dress and, as well as some iconic pieces, it also shines a light on the clothes worn by less ritzy figures, such as courtiers, palace staff and members of the public celebrating royal occasions. Along the way, you’ll get to see garments worn by Queen Elizabeth II, Princess Margaret, Queen Victoria and, of course, Princess Diana, while learning how royal fashion has changed over the years.
