A personal and enduring way to help keep our stories alive for future generations
Where your legacy helps
Large or small every legacy is important to Historic Royal Palaces and makes a real difference to our work. All our administrative costs are covered by our daily visitor income so gifts left to us through wills go directly towards our charitable work.

A personal gift
Leaving a legacy is a very personal gift and you may not wish to tell us about it. However, we always love to thank our donors for their support. Legators of Historic Royal Palaces are invited to special events to see the work that is supported by them. They also receive regular correspondence from Historic Royal Palaces keeping them up-to-date with the work that is happening across the palaces.
If you are interested in leaving a donation in your will to Historic Royal Palaces and would like it to benefit a specific area of our work, please contact the Development team to make sure that your desires can be met.
