The Queen had been patron of 433 of her charity organisations since 1952. This means that some of her charities have proudly been represented by and inspired by her for 75 years.
At this moment of mourning, we wanted to thank Her Majesty’s for her service, but also the incredible and inspirational work she carried out in during her reign ♥️
