The Edwardians: Age of Elegance

Exhibition at Buckingham Palace

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.

Queen Mary’s Love Trophy Collar Diamond Choker Necklace Eduardian Style jewelry, eduardian design diamonds Queen mary british royal family historic jewellery  The Love Trophy Collar is comprised of seven rectangular panels made from gold & linked by vertical rows of diamonds. Each panel features three symbolic elements - a burning torch, a quiver of arrows & a bow. These elements, symbolising Cupid the god of love, combine to make the “amatory” or love trophy from which the choker gets its name. Each “love trophy” is surrounded by diamond laurel wreaths & suspended from a diamond ribbon which is tied with a diamond bow.  1901diamond diamonds diamondplatnumz diamondjewelry  royal royalfamily royalwedding royals royalty princess princesses   tiara  tiaras rown  crowns         jewelry  jewellery  jewels  jewelrydesigner  jewelryaddict

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.
