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 Three Course Champagne Dinner at The Lanesborough.

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 Lanesborough, having toasted the evening with a glass of Champagne, our table d’hôte menu will offer three courses, all with three choices.. 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.
