You will go back in time as you admire the dress in which Alexandra of Denmark married the future King Edward VII. This piece from the Royal collection dates back to 1863 and has been kindly loaned for the occasion by the Queen. Also presented is the gold and pale green velvet outfit worn by Queen Mary in 1947, for the wedding of her granddaughter, Princess Elizabeth, who is now on the throne. Whether they were wives, mothers or sisters, all these figures from the British monarchy embody an era and helped to write the history of the Crown.
