About

Discover Life Through a Royal Lens, Hillsborough Castle’s first  exhibition featuring a unique collection of Royal photography. This must-see exhibition documents the British Royal Family's ever-evolving relationship with the camera over the last 200 years.

Life Through a Royal Lens brings together over 60 of the most iconic images ever taken of the Royal Family, dating back to the reign of Queen Victoria. See images from notable royal photographers such as Rankin, Cecil Beaton and Annie Leibovitz, and learn about the history and stories behind each image.
