EXHIBITION

Royal riches

Britain has been linked to Russia for over 300 years through war, diplomatic alliances and family ties. Russia, Royalty & the Romanovs, a new exhibition at The Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, explores the relationship between Britain and Russia and their royal families over three centuries, from the visit of Peter the Great to London in 1698 to the dynastic marriage between Queen’s Victoria’s granddaughter, Alix of Hesse, to Nicholas II. State portraits, jewellery and paintings of family gatherings illustrate the fascinating history between the two countries. The exhibition runs until 28 April 2019. www.rct.uk
