Life Through a Royal Lens

A brand new exhibition exploring the Royal Family through photography.

Opening in 2021, Life Through a Royal Lens brings some of the most iconic photographs ever taken of the Royal Family to Kensington Palace.

For almost 200 years the medium of photography has created an unprecedented intimacy between Sovereign and subjects. The new display explores the British Royal Family’s enduring relationship with the camera; from Queen Victoria and Prince Albert’s patronage of photography during its infancy to lesser known intimate family portraits, spanning from the 19th century right up until the present day.
