The Yorkshire Agricultural Society has announced that King Charles III will continue to be patron of the charity.
The news follows a review of more than 1,000 royal patronages and charity presidencies by the Royal Household, following the King’s accession.
Queen Elizabeth II was patron of the society between 1952 and 1997 before King Charles III became the society’s patron as The Prince of Wales in 1998.
His Majesty last visited the Great Yorkshire Show, which is organised by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, with Queen Camilla in 2021.
Allister Nixon, CEO of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, said:
“We are honoured and delighted to receive confirmation that King Charles III will continue to be Patron of the Society. We feel deeply privileged and very much look forward to welcoming the King and Queen back to the Show in the future.”
The Yorkshire Agricultural Society is the charity which organises the Great Yorkshire Show and runs businesses on the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.
