King Charles Retains Patronage of British Film Institute


King Charles has retained his patronage of the BFI, the U.K. body for which he's been a patron for more than 45 years.

“We are honored to have the Royal Patronage of HM King Charles III and grateful for the support he has already given us as Patron as The Prince of Wales for 45 years, showing his commitment and passion for film along the way,” said BFI Chief Executive Ben Roberts. Recent BBC feature documentaries “Elizabeth: The Unseen Queen” and “Charles R: The Making of a Monarch” used material from the Royal Collection. A team of BFI film conservation specialists collectively examined and viewed original film reels to assist with their development and to prepare for the digital restoration process of selected reels, including personal home cine movies shot by George VI, The Queen, the Duke of Edinburgh and other members of the royal household.
