Fashion for the Royal Family has been one of their most powerful weapons and plays a key role in why they still exist today. Their clothes are imbued with meaning, with history, and with majesty but at their core they tell a story. Their clothes reveal complex individuals with fears, preferences, demands, and insecurities just like us, sometimes they are weird and wonderful, sometimes they are stately and dramatic, either way they explode with the personalities of the people that wore them.

Hidden behind the sparkle and spectacle there is the personal and the intimate, and this is the beauty of fashion history. Despite the wealth of information that we have on monarchs of the past, it can sometimes feel hard to grasp the realities of their lives. But exploring some of the iconic pieces in their wardrobes can be a great place to start searching for the answers.

From the TikTok sensation, Rosie Harte, The Royal Wardrobe dives into a horrible history and colourful past that will surprise and fascinate. From the Tudors to the Victorians right through to the 21st Century family rife with drama and division, there is so much still to uncover and explore.
