The changing fashions of the late Queen Elizabeth are to go on show in a major exhibition next year at Buckingham Palace.

There will be about 200 items, including dresses and jewellery, hats and shoes, in what is claimed as the biggest ever display of the late Queen’s clothing.

The exhibition, featuring items from her childhood through to the decades of her long reign, will coincide with the centenary of her birth.

Among the items in Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style will be her wedding dress, made in 1947 by the designer Sir Norman Hartnell.
