Royal Collection Trust is one of the five departments of the Royal Household. We care for the Royal Collection, one of the world's greatest art collections, and manage the public opening of the official residences of His Majesty The King–Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
Our work is undertaken without public funding of any kind. Income generated from admissions, our shops and other commercial initiatives funds the conservation of the Royal Collection and projects to increase access to and enjoyment of the Collection, such as exhibitions, publications and educational programmes.
We employ over 500 people in a wide range of roles, from conservators and curators to marketers and merchandisers. We also recruit around 350 summer staff each year to help our front-of-house teams create a memorable experience for millions of visitors from all over the world.
