A stunning new exhibition is to showcase the wide-ranging roles of the Royal Family over the past year, including weddings, parenthood and cheeky days out at the races.
The remarkable images will make up part of an in-depth look at British press photography, which has captured some of the nation’s recent key moments in vivid detail.
These include the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle whose wedding captured the hearts of the nation when they tied the knot at St George’s Chapel, Windsor last year.
And images of Prince Charles holding the newly-born Prince Louis in the gardens of Clarence House, several months after the child was born to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Other Royal moments show Zara Tindall enjoying the opening of the Randox Grand National at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. While others Prince Harry ‘photobombing’ his brother William at an opening ceremony.
The exhibition will also cover some of the other dramatic moments from the British press this year, including riots, world cups and red carpets.
It is scheduled to run from May 17 to 19 at the Bargehouse at Oxo Tower Wharf in South Bank, London and entry is free.
