The British Royal Household

Many years ago in the 1920's my great Aunt Hilda ( Suffragette and Headmistress ) traced our family tree back to the Kings and Queens of England from the 7th Century. This basically means I am related to most of the British Royal Family going back 1500 years. This has made me a great fan of English and British History and below is a description of the Royal Household, Its five departments and the A to Z of the various 135 senior Royal Household Positions.

There are five Departments that make up the Royal Household. These Departments are:

• The Private Secretary's Office.

• The Master of the Household's Department.

• The Privy Purse and Treasurer's Office.

• The Lord Chamberlain's Office.

• The Royal Collection Department.

It seems that most of the Departments are based at Buckingham Palace, although some staff also work at St. James's Palace, Windsor Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Royal Mews.

It also seems that some of the Royal Household employees also travel with The Queen on overseas visits and during The Queen's stay at Balmoral Castle and Sandringham, since the work of the Head of State continues even when she is away from London.

The Chinese call Britain 'The Island of Hero's' which I think sums up what we British are all about. We British are inquisitive and competitive and are always looking over the horizon to the next adventure and discovery.
