Mrs Beatrice Grant was appointed to the role of Lord-Lieutenant of Worcestershire in March 2023.

The office of Lord-Lieutenant is of military origin and can be said to date from the reign of Henry VIII.

A Royal visit is a memorable occasion which honours the work and achievements of an organisation or community.

The Lord-Lieutenant selects and appoints a number of Deputies to help him in his role.

The King’s Award for Voluntary Service is the highest award given to volunteer groups across the UK.

The King’s Awards for Enterprise are recognised as the most prestigious business awards in the UK.

Every summer, The King hosts three garden parties at Buckingham Palace and one at the Palace of Holyrood House in Edinburgh.
