Britain's What's On Event Guide
Through a Royal Lens - the Royal Family since the start of photography
A major photography exhibition - an absolute 'must-see' for anyone interested in the Royal family or the history of photography from its earliest days - is now showing at Blenheim Palace,
'Life Through a Royal Lens' displays over 100 of the most iconic royal photographs alongside intimate images which share a glimpse of the Royal Family off duty.
The exhibition features images by pioneering Victorian photographers, modern royal portraitists like Cecil Beaton, Marcus Adams, Annie Leibovitz, and Rankin, as well as photos taken by Royal Family members themselves. Highlights include the last public photograph of Queen Elizabeth II and portraits from the first three years of King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s reign, including Josh Shinner’s recent image of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and their children.
Life Through a Royal Lens has been curated by Historic Royal Palaces – the independent charity that cares for Hampton Court Palace, the Tower of London, Kensington Palace and Hillsborough Castle and Gardens – and is toured by Nomad Exhibitions.
