The Society is a patriotic society and is honoured to have as its Patron Her Majesty The Queen.
The Royal Society of St. George was founded in 1894 with the noble object of promoting “Englishness” and the English way of life. The Society quickly attracted the support of many distinguished public figures in England and throughout the British Empire. Its first Royal Patron was Queen Victoria; and the society has enjoyed the Patronage with every subsequent monarch.
The Royal Society of St. George’s objectives are:
| 1. To foster a love of England and to strengthen England and the Commonwealth by spreading the knowledge of English history, customs, traditions and ideals. 2. To keep fresh the memory of those in all walks of life, who have served England or the Commonwealth in the past, to inspire leadership in the future. 3. To combat all activities that might undermine the strength of England or the Commonwealth. 4. To further British interests everywhere to ensure that St. George’s Day is properly celebrated and to provide focal points all the world over where English men and women may gather together. The Society is non sectarian and independent of party politics. |
