Publisher's Synopsis
Royal Childhood tells the story of life for the younger members of the Royal family. From playing games and dressing-up, to christenings and public outings, this souvenir album reveals what it is like to grow up in a palace. This souvenir album places the palace as the setting for royal childhood, from its acquisition by George III in 1761 to the birth of HRH Prince George of Cambridge in 2013. Drawing from the Royal Collection, the Royal Archives and the private collections of members of the Royal Family with paintings, photographs, letters, favourite toys, fancy-dress costumes and everyday outfits, this charmingly illustrated book explores the children, the families and the home in which they grew up.
