Event Description

A unique collection fo Royal photographs capturing the Queen from early childhood to the births of her own children is to go on display at Harewood House.

Harewood House was home to Princess Mary, The Princess Royal, through four decades. Her love of Yorkshire and the affection the people of Yorkshire felt for her in return mean that she will always be remembered as ‘The Yorkshire Princess’. Harewood is proud to celebrate this Jubilee year with a special exhibition remembering her, an exhibition that runs through the House and out into the gardens which she loved so much.

The exhibition moves to Bournemouth in the autumn, but Harewood, the family seat of the Earl and Countess of Harewood, represents the public’s only opportunity to view it over the Jubilee celebrations.
