Buckingham Palace To Recreate The Queen's Coronation
The Royals are enjoying a resurgence in popularity, thanks to Kate, her growing belly, and Prince Harry's bare bottom, and they are stopping at nothing to take full advantage. This summer, the palace will recreate the Queen's coronation, marking its 60th anniversary.
The exhibit will feature Queen Elizabeth's white satin coronation gown by Norman Hartnell, the outfits worn by a 4-year-old Prince Charles and 2-year-old Princess Anne, loads of jewels, and the uniforms of the principal royal party. According to its curator, Caroline de Guitaut, it will mark the first time these outfits have reunited since 1953.
In addition, the palace ballroom will be staged as the banqueting hall, and the rooms used by Cecil Beaton to photograph the newly crowned Queen will also be open to visitors. It should be quite the lavish display for lovers of history and costume alike.
The exhibit runs from July 27th—September 29th, so if you've yet to make summer holiday plans, perhaps England is in your future.
In other Royal news, the Duchess went shopping for jeggings at The Gap this weekend.
