Day in the Life of...A Wardrobe Manager

For the next few episodes, we're going to be following some of the people who work in our palaces today. We'll be exploring how these jobs have a historic context to them, and how surprisingly, there are similarities in the work they do now, from the work that was done in the past.

Today we meet Erin, Historic Royal Palaces' Wardrobe Manager. We step into the treasure trove that is the costume store and contemplate how Erin's job may have existed in the past. To help contextualise this, Curator Charles Farris will then explore the Medieval world of wardrobe management.

To find out more about the forgotten stories of those who worked at the royal palaces over 300 years ago, a new exhibition is opening at Kensington Palace.
