A Royal Arrival

Join us in celebrating the birth of the newest member of the Royal Family this summer! In our latest display we've taken the opportunity to showcase some of the royal items in our collection, many of which were worn by royal babies of the past and some of whom later succeeded to the throne.

By exploring these items we are not only able to bring to life a very personal family history, but we are also able to connect the newest generation of the Royal Family to over 400 years of the UK’s history

See a cap worn by Charles I, a fine cotton vest and lace mitten worn by George III, a nursing apron thought to be worn by Queen Victoria and a selection of shoes and tiny booties worn by Queen Victoria’s children Princess Beatrice, Princess Alice and Prince Leopold.
