Household of Elizabeth II

This article needs attention from an expert in British Royalty. The specific problem is: sources for the officeholders and their tenure dates are requested. See the talk page for details. WikiProject British Royalty may be able to help recruit an expert. (February 2022)

The Royal Households of the United Kingdom consists of royal officials and the supporting staff of the British Royal Family, as well as the Royal Household which supports the Sovereign. Each member of the Royal Family who undertakes public duties has their own separate household. When Elizabeth II succeeded her father George VI as sovereign of the United Kingdom, she appointed a new household.
