Arranging royal visits
The Queen by Simon Dack, The Argus
If you wish to invite a member of the royal family to an event taking place in East Sussex you should invite them at least six months in advance.
The Queen and other members of the royal family make at least 3,000 visits every year. With around 1,000 invitations sent to The Queen alone each year it is not possible for them all to be accepted.
All invitations received are carefully considered. For the greatest chance of success we recommend you make your invitation via the Lord Lieutenant who is responsible for advising on invitations and for co-ordinating the programme of royal visitors. The Lord Lieutenant will then liaise with Buckingham Palace, the private office of the prospective royal visitor and the host organisation.
Further information about inviting a member of the royal family to an event are available on the British Monarchy website.
If you would like to make your invitation via the Lord Lieutenant, please contact the Lieutenancy Office.
