An exhibition celebrating Queen Elizabeth II’s life and style at The King’s Gallery in Buckingham Palace has been extended by six months. The show, titled “Queen Elizabeth II: Her Life in Style,” will run until 18 April 2027 instead of 18 October 2026. The Royal Collection Trust said demand was unprecedented, and the exhibition became the most visited in the charity’s history, with tickets selling out within weeks of opening. The display features more than 300 items from the late Queen’s personal fashion archive, tracing her distinctive style and its evolution across her 70-year reign. Visitors are encouraged to book in advance due to continued high demand. The exhibition is part of events marking what would have been her 100th year, including limited tours of her private apartments at Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh for 100 days.
