Autumn in Kensington Palace, an evening of fashion and fairy tales

WHAT DO PRINCESSES DREAM OF?

The Candle's burnt out long before the legend ever will.



Kensington Gardens November 2011

The last two months have been a bit of a whirlwind and there are lots of bits bubbling here and there, and having had to move out of my flat, relying on the kindness of friends who are putting me up in their lovely home in Clapham, I really couldn't ask for me - and thus the lack of updates. I digress.

Last autumn we visited the Kensington Palace for the 'Enchanted Palace' installation. 
A beautifully crafted view of the royal residence, bringing to life the history of royals who have inhabited Kensington Palace.
Each room was themed, each representing a princess who lived, and died, often of a tragic death. It was a quest and a little adventure to guess which princess the room was designed for.

the room of dancing princesses


Magical. Exquisite. Whimsical. Mysterious.
