Historic Royal Palaces was originally set up in 1989 as an executive agency of the Department of the Environment. In 1998 it became an independent charity, which is contracted by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport to manage the palaces on behalf of 'The King in Right of Crown'.[2] It receives no funding from the Government or the Crown, depending on the support of visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors.[3] 4.25 million people visited the palaces in the 2014–15 financial year.
