From April 11 to November 23, 2025, The King’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace will host a major exhibition titled The Edwardians: Age of Elegance. This groundbreaking event explores the opulence, style, and societal shifts of the Edwardian era through the lives of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, and King George V and Queen Mary.
Two of Britain’s most fashionable royal couples – King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, and King George V and Queen Mary – from their family lives and personal collecting to their glittering social circles and spectacular royal events
The exhibition will showcase over 300 artifacts, many on display for the first time, including jewelry, fashion, art, and personal items.
Highlights include Queen Alexandra’s Dagmar Necklace, Queen Mary’s Love Trophy Collar, and exquisite works by Fabergé.
The display will recreate the lavish interiors of Marlborough House and Sandringham House, adorned with family photographs, decorative treasures, and society mementos.

Visitors can immerse themselves in Edwardian culture through paintings by luminaries like John Singer Sargent the Duchess of Connaught, Frederic Leighton, and Edward Burne-Jones, alongside new trends like Aestheticism and Art Nouveau. Personal items and souvenirs from royal travels and events will provide insight into the couple’s global influence and vibrant social lives. Photography, a burgeoning art form of the era, will also be featured, including works by pioneering female photographers and snapshots taken by Alexandra herself.
The exhibition captures the grandeur and transitions of a golden age brought to an abrupt end by World War I, offering a poignant glimpse into the lives, tastes, and artistic patronage of the Edwardian royals.
Countess of Kilmorey Ella Constance Countess of Kilmorey |Prince Francis of Teck’s last will British Nobel and Royal Heirloom Jewels
Cartier Diamond Tiara
Prince Francis of Teck, born in 1870 at Kensington Palace, was the second son of Francis, Duke of Teck, and Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge. Educated at Eton and Cheltenham College, Francis was known for his elegance and somewhat extravagant lifestyle. He became close to Ellen, Countess of Kilmorey, despite their significant age difference, and there was speculation about the nature of their relationship, although it appears to have been platonic. Francis had inherited the Teck family’s Cambridge emeralds and had loaned them to the Countess, which caused tension within his family, particularly with his sister, who later became Queen Mary.
After his death in 1910, it was discovered that Francis had bequeathed these emeralds to the Countess in his will, which was sealed, sparking rumors. The Countess eventually sold the famous Cambridge Emeralds back to Queen Mary. Ellen, Countess of Kilmorey, passed away in 1920, leaving behind a will that detailed the disposition of her estate, including the jewel given to her by Prince Francis.
Prinz Francis von Teck, geboren 1870 im Kensington Palace, war der zweite Sohn von Francis, Herzog von Teck, und Prinzessin Mary Adelaide von Cambridge. Er wurde in Eton und am Cheltenham College ausgebildet und war für seinen eleganten und extravaganten Lebensstil bekannt. Francis entwickelte eine enge Beziehung zur deutlich älteren Ellen, Gräfin von Kilmorey, wobei spekuliert wurde, ob die Beziehung platonisch war. Francis hatte die Cambridge Smaragde seiner Familie geerbt und sie der Gräfin geliehen, was Spannungen innerhalb seiner Familie auslöste, insbesondere mit seiner Schwester, die später Königin Mary wurde.
Nach seinem Tod im Jahr 1910 stellte sich heraus, dass Francis diese Smaragde der Gräfin in seinem Testament vermacht hatte, das versiegelt wurde und Gerüchte auslöste. Die Gräfin verkaufte schließlich die Smaragde an Königin Mary. Ellen, Gräfin von Kilmorey, verstarb 1920 und hinterließ ein Testament, das die Verteilung ihres Nachlasses, einschließlich des von Prinz Francis erhaltenen Juwels, detailliert beschrieb.
