The latest news is that King Charles III and Queen Camilla visited the Queen Elizabeth II fashion exhibition at Buckingham Palace as part of centenary events for what would have been her 100th birthday. The exhibition, titled Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style, opened on April 10, runs through October 18, 2026, and features more than 300 items from her wardrobe, many shown publicly for the first time.[3][6][7][9]
The most recent coverage says the royal visit marked the start of a wider series of commemorations on April 21, 2026. Reports also note that the tour included major pieces such as her wedding dress and tiara, her coronation ensemble, and items linked to the 2012 Olympics. One report says the exhibition has already sold out in its opening weeks, showing strong public interest.[1][2][9]
The show is at The King’s Gallery inside Buckingham Palace and is described as the largest display of Queen Elizabeth II’s fashion ever mounted. It draws from a much larger archive and is meant to show how she used clothing as part of her public image and diplomacy. The exhibition includes clothing from across her life, from childhood dresses to late-reign looks.[2][7][9]
The centenary commemorations also include a visit to the British Museum to review plans for the Queen Elizabeth Memorial in St. James’s Park. Princess Anne is set to open The Queen Elizabeth II Garden in Regent’s Park, which opens to the public on April 27.[1][3]
