The Royal Collection Trust cares for the Queen’s art collection as well as managing the public opening of her official residences.
It is a charity, with no public funding. All income it generates goes to preservation of artwork and promotion of palaces.
It comes as Wills and Kate’s new son arrived with the perfect patriotic credentials yesterday born on St George's Day and Shakespeare's birthday.
The 8lb 7oz prince greeted the world cradled in the arms of his mum, who proudly wore the red and white of England's patron saint.

Kate gave birth at 11.01am on her due date at London's St Mary's Hospital.
Seven hours later Kate and William emerged to show their third child to the world.
Wills introduced the new Prince of Cambridge to the world by joking that having three kids was “Thrice worry now”.
He also revealed big brother George, four, and sister Charlotte, two, were "very happy … delighted" with their new sibling.
Asked about the name, he said: "You'll find out soon." And in a reference to Kate giving birth on her due date he said: "We didn't keep you waiting too long this time."
With both her elder children Kate was late a week past her due date with Charlotte and ten days with George.
Despite the five-and-a-half hours of proud labour longer than Charlotte's two-and-a-half hours Kate looked amazing on the steps of the Lindo Wing seven hours later.
Wearing a red bespoke Jenny Packham dress, Gianvito Rossi nude heels and earrings loaned by the Queen, she smiled warmly as she carried her new son.
He was wrapped up against the chilly wind, in a new bonnet and a £70 Nottingham lace shawl gifted from GH Hurt & Son, who also provided George and Charlotte's shawls.
