LONDON (AP) — The largest-ever exhibition of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s fashion, including the opulent gowns she wore for her wedding and coronation, will go on display at Buckingham Palace next year to mark the centenary of her birth, officials said Tuesday.

The landmark royal exhibition will feature some 200 items — about half of them never publicly displayed before — that chart the monarch’s life and her historic 70-year reign.

Elizabeth, who died in September 2022 at 96, was the longest-reigning monarch Britain has ever known, and her clothing archive is considered one of the most important collections of 20th-century British fashion. She would have celebrated her 100th birthday on April 21, 2026.

Highlights include a tulle bridesmaid dress worn by an 8-year-old Princess Elizabet
