The Regal Court Presents the 2025 Regency Victorian Ball

The Regency and Victorian eras were significant periods in British history, each marked by distinct social, cultural, and political characteristics:

The Regency Era: This era refers to the period from 1811 to 1820 when George IV served as Regent for his father, King George III, who was deemed unfit to rule due to mental illness. The Regency Era is known for its refinement, elegance, and cultural advancements. It was a time of great social change, with the rise of Romanticism in literature, art, and architecture. Fashion during this period was characterized by the Empire silhouette for women and tailcoats for men.
 

The Victorian Era: Following the Regency Era, the Victorian Era spanned from 1837 to 1901, coinciding with the reign of Queen Victoria. This period was marked by significant industrial, cultural, and technological advancements, as well as widespread social reform. The Victorian Era is often associated with strict moral codes, societal conventions, and the expansion of the British Empire. Fashion evolved during this time, with women's clothing becoming more structured and modest, while men's fashion saw the rise of the frock coat and top hat.
 

Together, the Regency and Victorian eras represent a rich tapestry of history, art, and culture that continues to fascinate and inspire people.
