Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style – an exclusive evening experience for IIL members 2026

To mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2026, we are incredibly excited to host two exclusive events for members at The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace.

We will have exclusive after-hours access to the upcoming exhibition Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style, including a talk by an expert curator and time to explore the exhibition at leisure. A glass of English Sparkling Wine (or alcohol-free alternative) will be included at the end of the visit.

The exhibition celebrates the remarkable style of Britain’s longest-reigning monarch through clothing worn in all ten decades of her life – from birth to adulthood, from Princess to Queen, and from off-duty style to dressing for the global stage for momentous occasions in Britain’s history.

Featuring approximately 200 items, many on display for the first time, this is the largest and most comprehensive exhibition of the late Queen’s fashion ever mounted.

Alongside clothing, jewellery, hats, shoes and accessories, explore never-before-seen design sketches, fabric samples and handwritten correspondence that reveal the behind-the-scenes process of dressing the most famous woman in the world and shed new light on the late Queen’s close involvement in the creation of her wardrobe.

Highlights include her bridesmaid dress, wedding dress, Coronation dress and the ensemble worn for the wedding of Princess Margaret.

Your ticket price includes

• Exclusive after-hours entry
