Renaissance Prince or terrible Tudor? Who was the real Henry VIII?
As a self-funding charity, we urgently need your help to reduce the impact of the Coronavirus.
Our palaces are expensive to maintain. We spent £32 million conserving and maintaining them in the last financial year. The running costs of Hampton Court Palace (with over 1390 rooms) are eye-watering. Please help us by giving what you can. Thank you.
Volunteers support the palaces in many different ways. See what roles we have available and register your interest.
Step closer to history and join us for unique and amazing events as a patron of Historic Royal Palaces.
