(Royal Collection Enterprises Limited 2026 | Royal Collection Trust)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nDue to the natural degradation of the natural fibre of the robe, it was repaired in the 1960s, and recently underwent 100 hours of treatment by the Royal Collection Trust\u2019s textile conservator Cecilia Oliver before going on display. A replica, commissioned by the late monarch in 2004, is now worn by royal babies at their christenings.<\/p>\n
Oliver said: \u201cThe robe has been lovingly cared for over the generations \u2013 we even found a note on its box instructing that it be washed in natural spring water after use, which helps explain its remarkable condition despite such frequent use.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, after 185 years and 62 christenings, it was in need of conservation. It has been an honour and a privilege to work on such a special historic garment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Around 200 items from Queen Elizabeth\u2019s fashion archive will go on display as part of the Royal Collection Trust\u2019s exhibition, with the robe accompanied by the bonnet, silk satin shawl, sash, bows and ribbons embroidered with national emblems that were also traditionally worn for christenings. The exhibition will run until 18 October 2026.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
