End Royal secrecy

OUR CAMPAIGN

The Royal Family sit at the head of the UK's state. This is not some minor, superficial position, but instead one that is central to the operation of power  in the country.

The UK calls itself a democracy and yet at its heart we have a swathe of files that we cannot access. We are calling for an end to this.

We want official archives related to the Royal Family opened. They should be in the public domain.
