The Queen: Art & Image opened today at the National Portrait Gallery. I saw the exhibition last summer at the National Galleries of Scotland and the royalist I am, I loved the exhibition and was thrilled to read that the touring show has finally come to the capital.
The exhibition is a celebration of the Queen's 60 years at the throne, but it also shows how the expectations of the image of the British monarchy has changed during this period of time. I couldn't care less about the Olympics, but super happy about being here for the Diamond Jubilee!
Personal favourites included, among other things, a portrait of the Queen with the Duke of Edinburgh by Thomas Struth from 2011 and a casual snap by Eve Arnold from 1968.
