Join us for a Private View at Buckingham Palace of the new Royal Exhibition ‘Royal Portraits: A Century of Photography’ featuring pictures by Lord Snowdon, Cecil Beaton, Andy Warhol, David Bailey and more: the date is Thursday, May 23, 2024: followed by five-course Epicurean Dinner at The Ritz: fully booked

We are delighted to announce that as a Member of CountryClubuk you are invited to attend Buckingham Palace for the Private View of the Royal Collection’s forthcoming major exhibition ‘Royal Portraits: a Century of Photography’, followed by a Five Course Epicurean Dinner at The Ritz.

We shall see, in a Private View, the largest group of Royal Portraits ever exhibited in a major exhibition at Buckingham Palace. This will be a chance to see iconic works by the great photographers of their time, including Cecil Beaton, Lord Snowdon, Dorothy Wilding, Norman Parkinson, David Bailey, Annie Leibowitz and Rankin, alongside revolutionary work by Andy Warhol.

This will be an unmissable exhibition. Intimate portraits of the Royal family will feature among more than 150 photographic prints and previously unreleased correspondence and documents from the Royal Collection and the Royal Archives.

At The Ritz we shall dine on the five-course Ritz Epicurean Menu, a culinary masterpiece by acclaimed Ritz Michelin Star Chef John Williams. It is too soon to know the exact details of the menu, but this will be a gourmet experience, opening with a glass of Champagne to toast the evening. The price includes VAT, service charge and taxi from Buckingham Palace.

The date is Thursday, May 23, 2024. The time is 6.30pm (arriving at 6.15pm). There will be an expert talk to introduce the Exhibition, which is at The King’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace, London.
