Policy relating to interviews with members of the Royal Family

Interviews with members of the Royal Family for press or broadcast media are relatively rare. However, due consideration is given to all requests by bona fide organisations for interviews with members of the Royal Family to talk about their work and related issues.

Requests for interviews must be submitted in written form to Buckingham Palace Press Office with a detailed explanation of the reason for the interview, its intended focus and areas of questioning, the proposed interviewer and any other supporting information such as recording deadline. Royal diaries are booked weeks, if not months in advance, so at least three weeks’ notice should be given.

Some members of the Royal Family will give written interviews, or write occasional articles under their own name.

The Queen does not give interviews or write articles.
