Dear Colleagues,

 

The charity I work for are publishing a book on the history of our organisation.

 

We have had many visits from various members of the Royal Family in past years and the author of the book has specified they want images of these visits in the history book.

 

Whilst we own the copyright for the photographs, does anybody know if you have to seek consent from the palace to use images of the Royal Family in a publication?

 

I understand they are public figures so the normal rules might not be applicable, but, if anybody has been in a similar position before, your advice will be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you in advance.

 

Regards

Elly Southwell
