List of organisations in the United Kingdom with a royal charter explained

List of organisations in the United Kingdom with a royal charter is an incomplete list of organisations based in the United Kingdom that have received a royal charter from an English, Scottish, or British monarch.

There are over 900 bodies which have a UK royal charter.^[1] and a list of these is published by the Privy Council Office.^[2]

Organisations are listed with the year(s) the charter was granted. This may not be the same as the year the organisation was founded. Organisations may also have charters renewed or regranted, so multiple dates may be shown.
