Media covering the Royal birth in July 2013

As we are expecting an extremely busy period at Kensington Palace throughout July, we regret that we are unable to offer live broadcast positions inside the palace grounds. However, the Royal Parks have provided positions for media in the park opposite the palace. More details can be found at www.royalparks.org.uk/press

(19-21 July Due to an event in the park on the weekend of 19-21 July, special arrangements will be made for media wishing cover news of the royal birth at Kensington Palace on those dates. More information will be available here the week before.)

Stock footage and photos of Kensington Palace

We have HD quality footage of Kensington Palace, including interior and exterior GVs and interviews about the palace and its history, available free of charge to news media covering the arrival of the royal baby.

This includes interviews with historical facts about royal babies of the past, and about our latest exhibition, Fashion Rules: Dress from the collections of HM the Queen, Princess Margaret and Diana, Princess of Wales.

Previews and more information will be available shortly.

In addition, a wide range of photos of Kensington Palace, including interior photos and exhibitions, are available free of charge to media through our image library here
