Queen Elizabeth II was a patron of more than 600 U.K. charities, including the Royal Opera House and Blind Veterans UK, as well as organizations helping the elderly, children and animals.
Queen Elizabeth II was a steadfast global leader for generations, but her influence was also felt locally in the United Kingdom where she championed hundreds of homegrown charities.
In general, charities with royal patrons are concentrated geographically in areas where the royals have houses or titles, Fiennes said. They’re “disproportionately in London, the South East and South West of England — where the Royals’ main residences are — while more deprived regions seem under-represented,” Giving Evidence’s 2020 report found.
“We know very very little about charitable giving by HMQ,” Fiennes told MarketWatch. “I think I know of literally no gifts at all from her. That doesn’t mean there weren’t any, of course: Brits talk about money much less than some other countries do.” However, Giving Evidence’s 2020 analysis of royal patronages couldn’t find a discernible effect on charities’ revenues from royal patronage. “Of course, revenue isn’t everything and Royal patronages may have effects on other things, eg., beneficiaries, staff morale,” Fiennes noted at the time.
