Contact Sheet CONTACT SHEET Images for immediate release Windsor Castle’s wartime ‘pantomime pictures’ revealed as the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen reopen to the public Windsor Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, and The Queen’s Galleries in London and Edinburgh, as well as Royal Collection Trust shops, reopen to the public tomorrow, Thursday, 23 July 2020. The following images of reopening preparations across the official royal residences are available to download at mediaselect.pa.media. During the Second World War, Her Majesty The Queen (then Princess Elizabeth) and her sister Princess Margaret took part in a series of pantomimes in the Waterloo Chamber at Windsor Castle to raise money for the Royal Household Wool Fund, which supplied yarn to make comforters for soldiers fighting at the Front. At the beginning of the war, the series of portraits by Sir Thomas Lawrence that usually line the walls of the Waterloo Chamber were removed from their frames for safe keeping. To make the space more festive, 16 ‘pantomime pictures’ were commissioned to cover the bare walls. Teenage evacuee and part-time art student Claude Whatham was asked to recreate fairy-tale characters on rolls of wallpaper. He shared a temporary painting studio in the Garter Throne Room with Sir Gerald Kelly, who was working on King George VI and Queen Elizabeth’s Coronation portraits. After the war, the portraits by Sir Thomas Lawrence were returned to the Waterloo Chamber, and the pantomime pictures remained hidden beneath them. They have been revealed just once since the war, following the fire of 1992. During the recent closure of the Castle, the portraits by Sir Thomas Lawrence were removed to facilitate essential maintenance work. The newly revealed pantomime pictures can be seen by visitors to Windsor Castle when it reopens to the public on Thursday, 23 July.

  • Sir Thomas Lawrence
    Devizes One of Wiltshire’s Illustrious Sons Sir Thomas Lawrence by Ann Russell Sir Thomas Lawrence, the most successful English portrait painter of his day, is particularly remembered as a “society” painter. His subjects included kings, queens and princes, great diplomats and famous generals, and even the Pope himself sat for him. Thomas Lawrence was born at Bristol on the 4th May, 1769. His father was an innkeeper and when his son was four years old the family moved to Devises, where Mr. Lawrence became “mine host” at the Black Bear. Very soon everyone was aware of the great gift which Thomas possessed. His earliest works were mainly profiles, done in pencil, and his first subjects were doubtless the worthy Wiltshiremen of Devizes, sitting in meditation or conversation as the slaked their thirst with his father‟s ale. By the time he was ten he had won a reputation as a prodigy and become accepted as a serious portraitist. He was still only thirteen cars old when his family moved to Bath, and yet despite very little conventional education or artistic training, he now felt competent to set up as a professional. By this time he was working in pastels but it was not until he moved to London, in 1786, that he began to experiment with oils. In London he spent a short time studying at the Royal Academy schools and here he first met the famous Devonian, Sir Joshua Reynolds, who helped and encouraged him and into whose shoes he was ultimately destined to step. Lawrence, although still very young, was not only exceptionally gifted but handsome in looks and manners and charming to all around him.

  • Sir Thomas Lawrence and the Waterloo Chamber
    Podcast transcript SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE AND THE WATERLOO CHAMBER Hello. And welcome to a podcast from Royal Collection Trust where we’ll hear about the dazzling portraits painted by Sir Thomas Lawrence. Desmond Shawe-Taylor, Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures, gives a lecture at Windsor Castle about the magnificent Waterloo Chamber, which is dominated by Lawrence’s work. Hear the fascinating story of Lawrence’s travels across Europe to paint the celebrated figures from church and state who brought about the overthrow of Napoleon and championed diplomacy as the way to resolve future conflicts. The portraits capture a turning point in European history, but was this the new era of peace and co-operation they promised? Other talks, lectures and study days in our events programme can be found in the What’s On guide on our website. I’m going to be talking about, I suppose the, well definitely the Waterloo Chamber, and you might wonder why are we not there and it’s partly because I’m going to be looking at quite a lot of other material, much of it displayed in the Waterloo trail around Windsor Castle, so we couldn’t have absolutely just stood in the Waterloo Chamber, we would have needed to wander round. So you’re stuck with the standard lecture format, I’m afraid, but it means that you have to come back to see the Waterloo Chamber again, so it’s part of our marketing policy. And what I would like to do really is to introduce three characters, all of whom are in rough outline of the same generation.

  • Windsor Castle
    WINDSOR CASTLE Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world and has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years. It is an official residence of Her Majesty The Queen and is still very much a working royal palace today, home to around 150 people. The castle is used regularly for ceremonial and state occasions, including state visits from overseas monarchs and presidents. Some of the greatest treasures in the Royal Collection can be seen in the Castle’s magnificent State Apartments. The Royal Archives, the Royal Photograph Collection, the Print Room, and the Royal Library are all based here. Windsor Castle is also home to St George’s Chapel, the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter – the oldest order of chivalry in the world, founded by Edward III in 1348. Today, the Order consists of The Queen, The Prince of Wales and 24 Knight Companions. The Queen spends most of her private weekends at Windsor Castle and takes up official residence for a month in the spring for Easter Court, and for a week each June, when she attends Royal Ascot and the service of the Order of the Garter. The Kings and Queens who shaped the Castle William the Conqueror (r. 1066-1087) He was the king who first chose the site for Windsor Castle, high above the Thames and on the edge of a Saxon hunting ground. He began building at Windsor around 1070, and 16 years later his castle was complete. It was originally built to secure the western approach to London, but easy access from the capital and proximity to a royal hunting forest recommended it early on as a royal residence.

  • The Many Faces of Windsor Castle
    THE MANY FACES OF WINDSOR CASTLE The Round Tower of Windsor Castle Windsor Castle was built by William the Conqueror and is the oldest and largest continually inhabited castle in the world. Once a defensive fortress, it is now: • a palace for conducting state business and grand occasions; • a visitor attraction, since the end of the 18th century when visitors could walk around the castle’s precinct; • and a royal home. Royal Palace The Castle’s state apartments are used for official state business. State banquets are held in St George’s Hall, where the setting of the table takes two days because exact precision is needed. Several different measuring rulers are used to perfect the appearance of the table. The Waterloo Chamber The Waterloo Chamber commemorates heroes from the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. The room is where Investitures are held, which are ceremonies when members of the public are awarded an honour by The Queen. The Knights of the Garter celebrate being bestowed with this highest order of chivalry by taking lunch with The Queen here. They also have their own special room in the Castle called the Garter Throne Room, where there is an ivory throne that was made for Queen Victoria. The Garter Throne Room 2 The Knights process on foot, from the State Apartments to St George’s Chapel, for the Garter Service.

  • Russia: Royalty & the Romanovs
    PRESS RELEASE August 2018 Russia: Royalty & the Romanovs The Queen’s Gallery, Buckingham Palace 9 November 2018 – 28 April 2019 For more than 300 years Britain has been linked to Russia through exploration and discovery, diplomatic alliances and, latterly, by familial and dynastic ties. Russia: Royalty & the Romanovs, opening on 9 November 2018, explores the relationship between the two countries and their royal families through works of art in the Royal Collection, many of which were acquired through the personal exchange of gifts. In 1698 Tsar Peter I, known as Peter the Great, arrived in London. The first Russian ruler to set foot on English soil, he stayed for three months as part of a 'Grand Embassy', a diplomatic and fact-finding tour of Western Europe that included meetings with the British King, William III. On his departure Peter presented the King with his portrait, painted by Sir Godfrey Kneller. Kneller depicts the Tsar Laurits Regner Tuxen, The Marriage as a young and vibrant ruler, looking to the West and of Nicholas II, Tsar of Russia, 26th hoping to establish a new, 'open' Russia. November 1894, 1896 During the reign of the Empress Catherine II (Catherine the Great) Russia's borders expanded to the south and west, and the country was established as one of the great powers in Europe. The Empress's coronation portrait by Vigilius Eriksen, c.1765–9, is thought to have been given to George III and is recorded as hanging in the Privy Chamber at Kensington Palace in 1813. George III never visited Russia, yet his interest in the country is evident from the books in his library.
