The christening robe worn by 62 royal babies, including Queen Elizabeth II, will go on show this April as part of the centenary exhibition Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style at The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace – a rare appearance that is thought to be the first time the robe has ever been on public display.

Made 185 years ago, the christening robe was first worn by Queen Victoria’s eldest child, Princess Victoria, for her christening in 1841. It was then carefully passed down and worn by consecutive generations of royal babies, including by Queen Elizabeth at her christening in May 1926 when she was just one month old. This will be the largest exhibition of her clothing ever staged, charting her style across ten decades.

Where: The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace

Ages: All ages

Ticket price: Adult £22, Young Person (18-24) £14, Child (5-17) £11, Under 5s go free
