Francis Sultana says, “coming from Malta, I have always been incredibly patriotic, Malta was after all the only country that Her Majesty lived in apart from the United Kingdom when she first married, as Prince Phillip was stationed there, and so we Maltese feel very close to the monarchy. We are also key members of the Commonwealth. Queen Elizabeth has been a constant source of strength as our monarch through all the changes over the past 70 years. I am delighted to celebrate her unique place in history at the gallery and will be making our corner of St James’s a true homage to her longevity, her duty, and her style over the years.”

Her majesty queen elizabeth ii
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has ruled for longer than any other Monarch in British history, becoming a much loved and respected figure across the globe. Her extraordinary reign has seen her travel more widely than any other monarch, undertaking many historic overseas visits. Known for her sense of duty and her devotion to a life of service, she has been an important figurehead for the UK and the Commonwealth during times of enormous social change.
David Gill Gallery’s ‘Platinum’ Exhibition is a celebration of the Queen’s extraordinary reign, from a young girl who did not expect to be Queen, to an iconic and celebrated figure who has ruled for almost 70 years.
