A major photography exhibition exploring the lives of the British Royal Family is opening at The Amelia Scott in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, on February 13, 2026. The event gives residents a chance to see personal and iconic images spanning the last 200 years that illustrate how the monarchy’s public image has evolved.
The collection was put together by Historic Royal Palaces and is being brought to the town by Nomad Exhibitions. Nomad’s touring materials describe the show as bringing together over 110 images, ranging from early royal photography in the 19th century to pictures from the digital and social-media age.
Visitors will see work from world‑famous photographers alongside personal and family portraits — including some images taken by members of the Royal Family themselves — and photographs by photographers closely associated with the monarchy, such as Lord Snowdon (Antony Armstrong‑Jones, husband of Princess Margaret).
Local officials hope the event will encourage more people to visit the town centre and The Amelia Scott, which serves as a library, museum and art gallery. The exhibition is expected to be a popular attraction for the community before it closes on June 7, 2026.
