Royal Archives, London
Facts and practical information
The Royal Archives, also known as the Queen's Archives, is a division of The Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom. It is operationally under the control of the Keeper of the Royal Archives, who is customarily the Private Secretary to the Sovereign.

Since the Royal Archives are privately owned, requests for public access must be approved based on the needs and qualifications of the researcher. ()
