Royal Audiences
Audiences are Official Meetings with HM the Queen. The Queen holds Audiences throughout the year, wherever Her Majesty may be in Residence. Usually only The Queen and her visitor are present, although when a newly-appointed foreign Ambassador or High Commissioner arrives to present his or her credentials, then members of their family and officials are sometimes present.
The Prime Minister has a daily audience when both The Queen and he are in Westover. Usually Audiences are scheduled for an hour to an hour-and-a-half each day, and range in times from ten minutes to an hour or longer. Any individual may hold an Audience with HM the Queen, so long as they are not in trouble with the Law. Apart from a note in the Court Circular, no written record of Audiences take place, and Her Majesty treats all meetings as private ones.
To schedule an Audience with Her Majesty, please visit the Lord Chamberlain.
