What is a Royal Charter?
Royal Charters are granted by the Sovereign on the advice of the Privy Council. Originally, a Royal Charter was the only way to incorporate a company. Today, new Charters are normally reserved for bodies that work in the public interest (such as professional institutions and charities) and which demonstrate pre-eminence, stability and permanence in their particular field.
Visit the Privy Council Office website for further information about Royal Charters.
