Society Events in 2026

We have been asked to publicise a lecture on St. George"s Chapel Windsor by Dr Clare Jackson, Professor of early modern history at the University of Cambridge, some may remember that she gave us a lecture a few years ago. Her subject is “St. George"s Chapel in the turbulent seventeenth century”. Click here for details and booking. (The lecture is free, but advance booking is essential). The lecture will start at 7.00pm and last for approximately one hour

We are delighted that Council member David Beattie CMG will launch his book, History of the Royal Stuart Society. This is indeed a magnum opus, covering our founding in 1926 and following the sometimes-considerable ups and downs that the Society has experienced over the decades. This involved an enormous amount of research and the retrieval and dusting down of forgotten archives. David covers the main characters with their foibles, and follows the inevitable disagreements along the way, as well as mapping out the Society"s many achievements throughout the years. We hope that copies will be ready for sale on the evening.

This will be followed by our annual Informal Drinks Party which we always try to arrange near the birthday of Charles I. Please make sure that your subscription to the Society is up to date. Any change of postal or email address should be notified to the Principal Secretary.
