Kensington Palace postcard is from North East artist Emily Ward's beautiful range of art postcards. This postcard has been created from original artwork by Emily.
Emily’s art postcard captures a lively moment where history and nature meet. Bright wildflowers scatter across the foreground in bursts of yellow, pink, and purple, bringing a sense of movement and energy to the scene.
The red-brick palace stands proudly under a sky that swirls with soft blues, purples, and lavender, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Expressive brushwork and rich colour by Emily brings the scene to life, showing the contrast between the stillness of the architecture and the ever-changing beauty of nature.

Kensington Palace
Kensington Palace
began as a modest country house known as Nottingham House, purchased in 1689 by King William III and Queen Mary II. Seeking a residence away from Whitehall, they transformed it into a royal palace with the help of architect Sir Christopher Wren. Over the years, the palace was expanded and refined, becoming a favourite royal home in the 18th century. Queen Anne lived there, and it was also where King George II ruled, the last reigning monarch to live in the palace.
In 1819, Kensington Palace became the birthplace of Queen Victoria, who spent much of her early life within its walls. After her move to Buckingham Palace, Kensington’s role shifted, but it continued to house members of the royal family. In the 20th and 21st centuries, it was home to Princess Diana, and later the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (Prince William and Catherine). Today, the palace remains both a working royal residence and a public museum, offering insight into royal life past and present.
