Welcome to Royal Connections, a pictorial history devoted to the College's many encounters with royalty. These web pages have been developed in celebration of the Queen's Golden Jubilee in 2002.

Please follow the Royal Timeline links at the bottom of the page

Since Queen Victoria presided over the grand opening ceremony of Royal Holloway College on 30 June 1886, the College has continued to grow in size and status to become one of the top research-led university institutions in the country.

Today, Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, the present Chancellor of the University of London, is regularly welcomed as a distinguished guest, maintaining the College's privileged association with royal families past and present.
