A Royal Arrival delves deep into the Museum of London’s collection to showcase baby clothes and memorabilia worn by former royal babies, from Charles I to George III and Edward VII to link the latest royal arrival to over 400 years of UK history.

Objects on show include a delicately embroidered skullcap worn by an infant Charles I. Other pieces include a tiny linen vest embroidered with a crown and a small lace mitten belonging to George III. A nursing robe thought to have been used by Queen Victoria, shoes and booties worn by her many children including Princess Beatrice, Princess Alice and Prince Leopold. There is also a  dress blazoned with the three feather insignia belonging to her eldest son, Prince Albert Edward (later Edward VII) which is also on show until October 27, 2013.

Timothy Long, exhibition curator says:

“All of us at the Museum of London are so excited about welcoming HRH Prince of Cambridge to the world. And most of all, welcoming the newest member of the Royal Family to London

Our archive at the Museum of London is rich with objects related to the royal family, tracing back centuries. From garments worn by the new baby’s Great-Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmother, Queen Victoria, to souvenirs commemorating the Coronation of Great Grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Through exploring these objects belonging to former royal babies, we are not only able to bring to life a very personal family story, yet we are also able to connect the newest generation of the royal family to over 400 years of UK history.”

Don't forget to view the Museum of London shop for treats most British including a Gentleman's Elixir Jar and a perfumes wash bag featuring hand printed images of antique lady's perfume bottles, including Lady Faye's rose water.
