The glamour and the opulence of the Edwardian era is to be explored in a major new Buckingham Palace exhibition, featuring a Faberge cigarette case given to King Edward VII by his favourite mistress – an ancestor of Queen Camilla.
The Edwardians: Age of Elegance will delve into the family lives, personal collections, global travels and glittering social circles of two of British history’s most fashionable royal couples – Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, and King George V and Queen Mary.
