“The directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Company or to cease its operations, and as they have concluded that the Company's financial position means that this is realistic.”
Significant events
- “In 2025/26, Royal Collection Trust welcomed 2.7 million visitors to the official residences of The King and to The King's Galleries.”
- “Buckingham Palace also hosted a dedicated Schools Week, including an opportunity for home educated children and their parents to visit the Palace. A further initiative was a Relaxed Access Morning which gave opportunity for neurodivergent and learning-disabled children and their families to experience the State Rooms in a quieter, calmer atmosphere.”
- “The King's Gallery in London hosted 'The Edwardians: Age of Elegance', an exhibition of more than 300 objects from the Royal Collection from the era of King Edward VII and King George V, including works by Carl Faberge, Frederic Leighton, Edward Burne-Jones, Rosa Bonheur, John Singer Sargent and William Morris.”
- “The Palace of Holyroodhouse achieved increased visitor numbers compared to 2024/25, supported by additional opening days and an extended tour programme.”
