Her Majesty The Queen
Only Sovereign posts can request official signed photographs of The Queen for display in the Mission or in the Head of Mission’s residence. Signed photographs, and replacement signed photographs, can be requested by writing to the Royal Households Secretariat, Protocol Directorate, who will consult with Buckingham Palace for approval. The current photograph must be returned to the Royal Households Secretariat before a replacement can be issued.
Royal Images acts as a central contact point for any FCDO post which would like to obtain a photograph of any Member of the Royal Family. They are also able to advise on what photographs are available and co-ordinate obtaining the prints from other sources on your behalf. Prices may vary according to your requirements such as the size of the print required, framing, delivery etc. if it is to be sent directly to you via a courier especially if you are outside the UK.
