Established in 1993, Royal Collection Trust incorporates a registered charity* and its trading company, Royal Collection Enterprises Ltd*.

Our charitable aims are:

• Conserving our history - We look after the living Collection with utmost care, on behalf of the Sovereign and for the benefit of the nation.
• Deepening understanding - We bring the Collection to life in innovative ways that invite understanding and exploration of our shared history.
• Broadening our reach - We find welcoming and inclusive ways for everyone to enjoy the Collection, wherever they are.
• Delighting our audiences - We create world-class experiences that involve and inspire people.

Although we are one of the five departments of the Royal Household, our work is undertaken without public funding of any kind.  Admissions income from Windsor Castle, Buckingham Palace and the Palace of Holyroodhouse, and from associated trading activities, is devoted to the achievement of our charitable aims.
