Royal tourism in the UK
As the British Royal Family continue to receive worldwide media attention, tourism associated with the Royals continues to grow. Income from ticket admissions to the Royal Estate exceeded 40.8 million British pounds in 2017/18, in addition to over 18 million British pounds in retail sales. The Royal Estate refers to British royal residences including palaces, castles and houses owned or occupied by the British Monarchy. Only a selection of the estates are open to the public, and give access to the Royal Collection (works of art held by the Queen in right of the Crown and in trust for her successors and for the nation).
Can you visit the Queen?
The Queen’s official London residence, Buckingham Palace, is only open to visitors for a few months of the year, between July and October. This summer opening allows visitors to take a tour of the state rooms and tends to feature special exhibitions and displays of the Royal Collection. Although exploring her main residence and having tea with the Queen is sadly not included.
