HM Queen Elizabeth II
HM Queen Elizabeth II
1926 - 2022
The Actors' Benevolent Fund is deeply saddened to hear of the death of Queen Elizabeth II and our thougths go out to His Majesty King Charles III and the Royal Family at this sad time.
Queen Elizabeth II was the ABF's Royal Patron from 1952 - 1999 with a longstanding history of support for the theatre and those who have worked in it. His Majesty King Charles III, formerly known as The Prince of Wales, succeeded Queen Elizabeth II to become the ABF's Royal Patron in 2000 and we are most grateful for his encouragement over the years.
