The Edwardians: Age of Elegance – 11 April – 23 November 2025
Learn about the lives and tastes of two of Britain’s most fashionable royal couples – King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, and King George V and Queen Mary – from their family lives and personal collecting to their glittering social circles and spectacular royal events.
This is the first Royal Collection Trust exhibition ever to explore the Edwardian era and will bring together more than 300 items – almost half on display for the first time – including fashion, jewellery, paintings, photographs, books, sculpture and ceramics.
See works by the most renowned contemporary artists of the period, including Carl Fabergé, Frederic Leighton, Edward Burne-Jones, Laurits Tuxen, John Singer Sargent, Olive Edis, Philip de László, William Morris, Oscar Wilde and Edward Elgar.

“Before the trip to England I’m very concerned because our first trip and many people ( 6 of us). After talk to Nok , she very good advice and very helpful make us feel more relaxed and confidence even we didn’t decide yet to use her service . When we arrived to England all the service was perfect. The driver pick us up on time and helping with the luggage and advice a lot for the trip. You and your Company is full with service mind. You make customer feel like the family instead of business. I wish you company get more successful and we will use your service again for sure.
In the down side I don’t have it because it better more than we expected.”
