Royal Patronage
7th May (CqE Official News)
It is with great pleasure that we have today received a letter from Buckingham Palace informing us that, following the review of patronages by the senior members of the Royal Family, His Majesty King Charles lll is delighted to accept the patronage of Croquet England.
King Charles follows in the footsteps of his mother Queen Elizabeth ll, his grandfather King George Vl, his great-uncle Edward Vlll and his great-grandfather King George V, who became croquet's first royal patron on Sept 6th 1906.
Advice on when it is, or is not, appropriate to refer to our Royal Patron can be obtained from the Croquet England office.
