This partly relates to the availability of cataloguing resources at the Royal URQUHART IRVINE Archives, and the experience we have gained in the progress to date of the programme of release. This has prompted an ongoing re-assessment of the approach taken to cataloguing the Georgian Papers by the Royal Archives, and this has important potential implications for the broader content delivery schedule for the GPP over the life of the project. In consequence, the overall delivery schedule will be comprehensively reviewed in the New Year. As soon as the review is complete, a revised schedule will be made available to the Friends.

  • The Balmoral Tartan
    The Balmoral Tartan Introduction The Balmoral tartan (Fig 1) is said to have been designed in 1853 by Prince Albert, The Prince Consort, Queen Victoria's husband. It is unique in several respects: it is the only tartan known to have been designed by a member of the Royal Family; has a unique construction; and is reserved for members of the Royal Family. It is worn by HM The Queen and several members of the Royal Family but only with the Queen's permission. The only other approved wearers of the Balmoral tartan are the Piper to the Sovereign and pipers on the Balmoral Estate (estate workers and ghillies wear the Balmoral tweed). Fig 1. Specimen of the original Balmoral Tartan c1865. © The Author. There is some confusion over the exact date of the original design. In 1893 D.W. Stewarti wrote, ''Her Majesty the Queen has not only granted permission for its publication here, but has also graciously afforded information concerning its inception in the early years of the reign, when the sett was designed by the Prince Consort.'' Harrison (1968) ii states that both the Balmoral tartan and Tweed were designed by Prince Albert. Writing of the tartan specimen in Stewart’s Old & Rare Harrison noted that “The illustrations were all woven in fine silk which did not allow of (sic) the reproduction of the pure black and white twist effect of the original. Mr Stewart compromised by using shades of dull mauve as the nearest that his materials allowed. Thus, for generations the Balmoral was looked upon not as a pure grey scheme but as a scheme of very quiet mauves” (Fig 2).

No official account of her long public life, from 1914 to 1965, has been written and published since 1922, when the princess was aged twenty-five, and about to be married. The only daughter of King George V, she was one of the chief protagonists in his plans to include his children in his efforts to engage the monarchy, and the royal family, more deeply and closely with the people of the United Kingdom. This was a time when women were striving to enter public life more fully, a role hitherto denied to them. The king’s decision was largely prompted by the sacrifices of so many during the First World War; the fall of Czar Nicholas of Russia; the growth of socialism; and the dangers these events may present to the longevity of the monarchy in a disaffected kingdom. Princess Mary’s public life helps to answer the question of what role royal women, then and in the future, are able to play in support of the monarchy. It was a time when for the most part careers of any kind were not open to women, royal or otherwise, and the majority had yet to gain the right to vote.

  • How Enlightened Was George III? the King, the British Museum and the Enlightenment Robert Lacey
    How enlightened was George III? The King, the British Museum and the Enlightenment Robert Lacey 18 October 2004 Robert Lacey set out to debunk what he sees as the ‘myth’ of George III as the greatest of all royal patrons of the British Museum. As is well known, the king assembled one of the great book collections of the eighteenth century. After his death, his son, George IV, attempted to sell it, but, perhaps swayed by the offer of government funding for the rebuilding of the Queen’s House, he was persuaded to present the books to the Museum. There the collection joined the Old Royal Library, which had been given to the Museum by George II as one of the foundation collections. The ‘King’s Library’ is now the appropriate symbolic centrepiece of the British Library building. Sometimes explicitly and more often implicitly, historians have assumed that George III had always intended that the books should go to the British Museum, but, as Lacey showed, there is no real evidence that this was what he ever envisaged. The collection was instead a working library suitable for an enlightened monarch and assembled mainly with the aim of assisting that particular monarch in the task of governing his kingdom. To clinch his argument, Lacey revealed his latest discoveries from the Royal Archives. Like those of all British monarchs, the will of George III has never been released to historians. That remains the case. However, the Royal Archives have disclosed to Lacey what George III’s will says about his book collection.

These items of news became linked when, by the happiest of chances, word of the ascent of Everest broke upon the world on the morning of the Queen's Coronation. A fevv weeks earlier .H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh had accepted the patronage of the Mount Everest expedition, an encouraging circumstance that foreshado,ved the final triumph that made the climbing of the mountain seem like a deliberate Coronation Day gift to Her Majesty. It is not inappropriate, therefore, if, while the success of Sir John I-Iunt's party is still fresh in ou~ r minds, we take note of any other interest that has been sho,vn in mountaineering by our Royal Family.

  • Glamis Castle Archives
    SCOTTISH ARCHIVES 2017 Volume 23 © The Scottish Records Association Around the Archives Glamis Castle Archives Ingrid Thomson The building of Glamis Castle as we know it today began around 1400 and many additions and alterations have been carried out over the years, particularly during the period of Patrick, 3rd Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, in the late seventeenth century (Plate 1). Its walls have witnessed over 600 years of comings and goings, from illustrious royals, prime ministers, artists and writers, to family, friends, associates, tradesmen, clergy, governesses, servants and tenants. It is therefore not surprising that Glamis Castle has a rich and diverse archive dating back to the twelfth century, documenting the lives of not just the Strathmore family, but also a wide spectrum of society. The records at Glamis consist of several collections, comprising the Survey Lists of the National Register of Archives (Scotland) – NRA(S) 885 and 3526 – referring to both the Strathmores’ Scottish and English estates; Castle Opening (CO) Department records from when the castle first opened to the public in 1950; family correspondence and other records transferred from the Queen Mother’s residence at Clarence House, including some of the 14th Earl’s business papers, c.1876–1940 (closed to the public); personal records of the 16th, 17th and 18th Earls (closed for 100 years); the printed music collection of Mary Eleanor Bowes, some of which she inherited from her mother, mainly from the 1760s to 1800; and even early-eighteenth-century male clothing, presumably worn by the Earls of Strathmore, c.1710–60. The archives are currently under-utilised and would benefit from being opened to a wider audience so that more people can share in the rich history and heritage of Glamis.

  • December 2012
    PRESS RELEASE Thursday, 15 May 2014 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Documents from the Royal Family's private archive go on display at Windsor Castle A new exhibition and book mark the centenary of the Royal Archives From the title deed of Buckingham Palace to George III's reflections on the loss of America, the Royal Archives contains an unparalleled collection of documents that capture key moments in the history of the British Monarchy. To mark the centenary of the establishment of a permanent home for the Archives in the Round Tower at Windsor Castle, more than 100 documents from the private archive of the Royal Family are published in a new book, Treasures from the Royal Archives, and 25 of the most fascinating items go on display at the Castle from Saturday, 17 May, many for the first time. In the exhibition, and among the documents on display for the first time, is the title deed for Buckingham Palace. Dated 20 April 1763 and bearing George III's wax seal, it records the purchase of Buckingham House from Sir Charles Sheffield for the sum of £28,000 (over £2,000,000 today). Named after its previous owner, the sixth Duke of Buckingham, the property was bought by the King for his wife, Queen Charlotte, to accommodate their growing family – they had 15 children. Often remembered as the monarch who lost the American colonies, George III wrote his personal reflections on Britain's relationship with America following the end of the War of Independence in 1783. The Crown and Government received much public criticism for the manner in which the conflict was handled; however the King's essay takes a surprisingly sanguine approach to the defeat.

  • Windsor Castle Fact Sheet
    FACT SHEET Windsor Castle Windsor Castle is the oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world and has been the family home of British kings and queens for almost 1,000 years. It is an official residence of Her Majesty The Queen and is still very much a working royal palace today, home to around 150 people. The castle is used regularly for ceremonial and state occasions, including state visits from overseas monarchs and presidents. Some of the greatest treasures in the Royal Collection can be seen in the Castle’s magnificent State Apartments. The Royal Archives, the Royal Photograph Collection, the Print Room, and the Royal Library are all based here. Windsor Castle is also home to St George’s Chapel, the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter – the oldest order of chivalry in the world, founded by Edward III in 1348. Today, the Order consists of The Queen, The Prince of Wales and 24 Knight Companions. The Queen spends most of her private weekends at Windsor Castle and takes up official residence for a month in the spring for Easter Court, and for a week each June, when she attends Royal Ascot and the service of the Order of the Garter. The Kings and Queens who shaped the Castle William the Conqueror (r. 10661066----1087)1087) He was the king who first chose the site for Windsor Castle, high above the Thames and on the edge of a Saxon hunting ground. He began building at Windsor around 1070, and 16 years later his castle was complete.

  • The Order of the British Empire
    The Order of The British Empire PETER GALLOWAY THE ORDER OF THE BRITISH EMPIRE In 1993 the Officials of the Order of the British Empire decided to commission a history of the Order. The result was The Order of the British Empire, by Peter Galloway, published in 1996 to coincide with a Service of the Order in St Paul’s Cathedral on 8 May 1996. It was a pioneering study of the debates that led to the institution of the Order, and the controversies that occurred in its earliest years. This new and greatly expanded edition, also commissioned by the Officials of the Order, published in 2017 to mark the centenary of this most well-known national honour, incorporates the inevitable changes and developments that have occurred since 1996, not least the revival of the use of the British Empire Medal. This second edition provides much new material from the archives of the Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood, the Royal Archives, the National Archives and the Cabinet Office Honours and Appointments Secretariat. In the early 1990s, the world-wide web was still in its relative infancy. Since that time, the increasing availability of on-line archival material has enabled almost immediate access to an immense universe of knowledge, including many illustrations otherwise difficult to locate. The British Newspaper Archive in particular, a valuable on-line tool for research, has enabled this new history of the Order to include diverse public reactions from sources once difficult to access and usually unindexed.
