Adult Learning

A perfectly petite palace lying within Kew Gardens, this was the favourite country retreat of George III, Queen Charlotte and their 15 children, including the future kings George IV and William IV. To celebrate our acquisition of several items relating to this family, such as baby gowns and locks of hair, we put the focus on George’s children and the palace’s unique role as an 18th-century family home.
