Royal Yacht Squadron
PR Works has provided PR services to the Royal Yacht Squadron since 2003. The Yacht Club, as it was first known, was founded 1 June 1815 at the Thatched House Tavern in London. The club became The Royal Yacht Club in 1820 after the accession of George IV, who had joined in 1817, and was created The Royal Yacht Squadron by William IV in 1833.
The unbroken royal association with the Squadron, begun by George IV and continued today by HM The Queen as patron, has ensured that the club has remained a centre of attention, particularly during Skandia Cowes Week. HRH Prince Philip - the Squadron's Admiral, a former Commodore and a keen yachtsman - continues to attend.
