Our Patron

Since 1953, The Victoria League has been honoured to receive the continued patronage of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II. She and other members of The Royal Family have attended various League events over the years to mark special occasions for both The Queen and our charity. Pictured below are Her Majesty, accompanied by the late Prince Philip, cutting the cake during The League's centenary celebrations in 2001 and Her Majesty planting a tree in Windsor Great Park in 1997. The Victoria League presented this tree to The Queen on the occasion of her Golden Wedding Anniversary. 

We are pleased to send our best wishes and thanks to Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II in this her special Jubilee year.


We are proud to have a long line of royal patronage:
