Picturing the Queen

Imagine, for a moment, that you're a member of the royal family - for which twentieth-century photographer would you most like to sit?

Chief Curator Lucy Worsley along with Historic Royal Palaces curator Claudia Acott Williams (author of 'The Crown in Focus, Two Centuries of Royal Photography') and photography curator Susanna Brown (formerly of the V+A and National Portrait Gallery, author of 'Queen Elizabeth II: Portraits by Cecil Beaton) will take us through the life and work of some photographic geniuses: Cecil Beaton, Dorothy Wilding, Tony Snowdon and Annie Leibovitz.

Featuring unique and glamorous images of the royal family shortly to appear in the Kensington Palace exhibition 'Life Through A Royal Lens', you'll have to make up your mind about which photographer you'd chose!

Historic Royal Palaces is a self-funding charity, and the Coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact on us. We experienced a £100 million shortfall in our finances over the last year, so if you love the palaces and believe in what we do, we have never needed your support more.
