The review by the Royal Household featured the close involvement of members of the royal family.
The King is to become patron of the Royal British Legion after a major review of more than a thousand royal patronages following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
Members of the royal family at the 2023 Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall “As the nation’s largest military charity, this patronage honours the special relationship that exists between the monarch and the armed forces. The King retains his patronage of the Samaritans, a role he has held for more than 25 years, and Camilla will succeed Queen Elizabeth II and take on the presidency of the Sandringham branch of the Women’s Institute .
The review examined 441 charities and other bodies Charles represented as patron when Prince of Wales, and 367 will still have the King, or another royal family member, as figurehead. It is understood a number of charities and organisations which have not been retained were not viable following lockdown or ceased to exist after the pandemic.
