Timed to celebrate the birth this week of HRH Prince George of Cambridge, the Museum of London exhibition "A Royal Arrival" showcases royal baby items through the ages. Many pieces were worn by royal babies of the past, some of whom later succeeded to the throne.

By exploring these items, a very personal family history emerges and a connection is made to the newest generation of the Royal Family as part of over 400 years of the UK’s history.

On display through October 2013 are a cap worn by Charles I, a fine cotton vest and lace mitten worn by George III, a nursing apron thought to be worn by Queen Victoria and a selection of shoes and tiny booties worn by Queen Victoria’s children Princess Beatrice, Princess Alice and Prince Leopold.
