Historic Royal Palaces is an independent UK-based charity which looks after and maintains the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, the Banqueting House, Kensington Palace and Kew Palace. Although the palaces themselves are owned by The Queen on behalf of the nation, the charity receives no funding from the Government or the Crown, and depends on the support of visitors, members, donors, volunteers and sponsors.
Mitsubishi Electric Europe B.V have supported HRP since 2010, initially as part of the re-development of the existing educational programme by funding development for interactive e-learning for schools and other organisations to learn about the palaces. More recently the company has supported the on-going project to create an online digital library from over 75,000 images in the palaces' collections.
