His Majesty King Charles has confirmed that he will retain his Royal Patronage of The Glasgow School of Art.
This continues the extensive and much appreciated relationship that the School has enjoyed with His Majesty, as Duke of Rothesay, since he first offered his patronage to the School in the early 2000’s. Following a review of the Patronages of the late Queen, and those of the former Prince of Wales including those held in Scotland as The Duke of Rothesay, Buckingham Palace have confirmed that “His Majesty would be delighted to retain the patronage of The Glasgow School of Art.”
The news of this announcement was shared with Professor Penny Macbeth by The Principal Private Secretary to the King and Queen.
“His Majesty has over many years shown a deep interest in the work of the School, being an important champion of the UK’s creative and cultural sector, including drawing, craft and heritage skills through to innovation technology. We are delighted that he will continue to be Patron over the coming years.” says Professor Penny Macbeth, Director of The Glasgow School of Art.
The Glasgow School of Art is among many organisations across the UK who have been granted patronage to mark the anniversary of Their Majesties’ Coronation.
