Royal Variety Performance - Royal Attendance (1981-Present)


The Royal Variety Performance is an annual variety show to raise money for the Queen Elizabeth's former patronage, the Royal Variety Charity. (The charity was previously called the Entertainment Artistes' Benevolent Fund.) The event usually takes place in late November and is filmed for a December release on TV.

The Royal Variety Performance is attended each year by a senior member/s of the Royal Family. There are usually 2 or 3 couples, who rotate attending each year.

  1. Why doesn't the queen attend anymore?

    1. She's old. The Royal Variety Performance has a lot of young, modern artists. I don't think the Queen enjoys it as much as she did when she was younger. And I think they like having someone young and cool attend the event as the show is trying to attract a young audience.
