  • The Sovereign and Parliament
    Library Note The Sovereign and Parliament The Sovereign fulfils a number of ceremonial and formal roles with respect to Parliament, established by conventions, throughout the parliamentary calendar. The State Opening of Parliament marks the beginning of each new session of Parliament. It is the only routine occasion when the three constituent parts of Parliament—that is the Sovereign, the House of Lords and the House of Commons—meet. The Queen’s Speech during State Opening is the central element around which the ceremony pivots, without which no business of either the House of Lords or the House of Commons can proceed. Each ‘Parliament’ lasts a maximum of five years, within which there are a number of sessions. Each session is ‘prorogued’ to mark its end. An announcement is made in the House of Lords, to Members of both Houses following the Queen’s command that Parliament should be prorogued by a commissioner of a Royal Commission. At the end of the final session of each Parliament—which is immediately prior to the next general election—Parliament is also dissolved. Following the Prime Minister’s advice, the Sovereign issues a proclamation summoning the new Parliament, appointing the day for the first meeting of Parliament. All bills must be agreed by both Houses of Parliament and the Sovereign before they can become Acts of Parliament. Once a bill has passed both Houses, it is formally agreed by the Sovereign by a process known as royal assent. Additionally, Queen’s consent is sometimes required before a bill completes its passage through Parliament, if the bill affects the Sovereign.

  • FACT SHEET Frogmore House Frogmore House
    FACT SHEET Frogmore House Frogmore House is a private, unoccupied residence set in the grounds of the Home Park of Windsor Castle. It is frequently used by the royal family for entertaining. It was recently used as the reception venue for the wedding of The Queen’s eldest grandson, Peter Phillips, to Autumn Kelly, in May 2008. How history shaped Frogmore The estate in which Frogmore House now lies first came into royal ownership in the 16th century. The original Frogmore House was built between 1680 and 1684 for tenants Anne Aldworth and her husband Thomas May, almost certainly to the designs of his uncle, Hugh May who was Charles II’s architect at Windsor. From 1709 to 1738 Frogmore House was leased by the Duke of NorthumberlandNorthumberland, son of Charles II by the Duchess of Cleveland. The House then had a succession of occupants, including Edward Walpole, second son of the Prime Minister Sir Robert Walpole. In 1792 George III (r. 1760-1820) bought Frogmore House for his wife Queen CharlotteCharlotte, who used it for herself and her unmarried daughters as a country retreat. Although the house had been continuously occupied and was generally in good condition, a number of alterations were required to make it fit for the use of the royal family, and architect James Wyatt was appointed to the task. By May 1795, Wyatt had extended the second floor and added single- storey pavilions to the north and south of the garden front, linked by an open colonnade and in 1804 he enlarged the wings by adding a tall bow room and a low room beyond, to make a dining room and library at the south end and matching rooms at the north.

  • Royal Mausoleum
    Royal Mausoleum The mausoleum is a centrally planned building with an octagonal drum and polygonal roof. It is constructed of granite and Portland stone and the roof is covered in copper. The building is entered via a triple-arched portico, its ceiling decorated with an early example of prefabricated mosaic imported from Venice. Inside, the magnificent central tomb is surmounted by the recumbent effigies of the Queen and Prince, the last works of the Queen’s favourite sculptor, Baron Carlo Marochetti, who died in 1867. The interior decoration is a lavish melange of structural and painted Italianate polychromy, with inlaid coloured marbles on the pavement and walls and painted decoration on the spandrels and dome. Almost all the sculptural and painted decoration was carried out by Italian or German artists working in the style of Raphael, the painter Albert most admired. Architect(s) Ludwig Gruner; construction supervised by A J Humbert Listing Grade I (England and Wales) Year Created 1862 History In December 1861, within days of the death of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria had chosen a site for his mausoleum at Frogmore. The design was to echo that of the Prince’s father, Duke Ernest I, in Saxe-Coburg. Albert had helped to design this mausoleum, and the Queen wanted every aspect of the new building to reflect the taste of her dead husband. The designer, Ludwig Gruner, had been Albert’s artistic mentor. It was under his guidance that the Prince had worked so hard to promote Renaissance Italian art as a model for the decoration of the New Palace of Westminster, and this was the style now adopted for his mausoleum.

He writes: The Discussion Paper ‘Area Conservation Strategy’ contains much to commend it. In particular, it envisages some redistribution of grant-aid to needier areas and indicates a greater readiness on the part of English Heritage to be more interventionist in local planning and conservation issues. The former may not be too welcome to those local authorities in whose areas Town Schemes and Section 10 grants have been available for some considerable time, while the latter may not please those local authorities where the level of conservation activity is fairly low. But for those who care about safeguarding the historic fabric of our cities, towns, and villages, these proposals are very welcome. It seems reasonable to expect that in those cases where grants have been available and taken up over a long period, a rolling programme of conservation schemes should become self-sustaining without the continued help of English Heritage as local confidence is built up. This would serve to free scarce resources for the hard-pressed areas, such as industrial towns in the north of England where there is often a rich architectural inheritance with inadequate funding to maintain it.
