Alessandro Nasini, curator of Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography, said, ‘The Royal Collection
holds some of the most enduring photographs ever taken of the Royal Family, captured by the most celebrated portrait photographers of the past hundred years – from Dorothy Wilding and Cecil Beaton to Annie Leibovitz, David Bailey, and Rankin. Alongside these beautiful vintage prints, which cannot be on permanent display for conservation reasons, we are excited to share archival correspondence and never-before-seen proofs that will give visitors a behind-the-scenes insight into the process of creating such unforgettable royal portraits.’

Among the photos is a never-before-seen image of four royal mothers in 1964 and a portrait of Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, on her wedding day.
