當然，女王是大家時刻關注的焦點，而最受關注的細節莫過于女王的著裝。

A recreation of her dressers' workroom shows the exquisite pale grey silk dress embroidered with Swarovski crystals designed by Angela Kelly she wore to the recent Singapore State Banquet – alongside the ancient sewing machine used to make it - and several of the hat blocks used by her personal milliner, known only as Stella, stamped with Her Majesty.
仿制的女王更衣室里的展品包括一件精致的淺灰色真絲裙，鑲有施華洛世奇水晶，由設計師安吉拉?凱莉一手打造，女王最近曾穿著它參加新加坡國宴。一同展出的還有制作這件衣服使用的古典縫紉機，以及印有“女王陛下”字樣的帽模，這些都出自女王唯一的御用帽子設計師斯特利之手。

Glittering alongside them are Queen Alexandra's Russian Kokoshnik Tiara made in 1888 and containing a staggering 488 diamonds, and the Coronation necklace and earrings made for Queen Victoria, both of which she frequently wears on state occasions.

Other fascinating exhibits include the Queen's 'secret entrance' into The White Drawing Room.

通道就藏在一面大鏡子和一張靠墻的桌子之間。桌上陳列著幾個古色古香的大花瓶。門完全向內打開后，通往女王私人居所的入口便會展現在眼前。

Young visitors will be encouraged to spot the door, which will for the first time be left slightly ajar.
開展時，這道門會破天荒的虛掩著，以鼓勵前來參觀的年輕人發現這個秘密通道。

'The level of hospitality here is simply unsurpassed, which is what makes a visit to the palace so unforgettable,' she said.
