Since 1998, the Goon Show Preservation Society has been honoured and enjoyed the patronage which HRH Prince Charles bestowed on us. This reflected his personal support. It is well documented that His Majesty has been a lifelong aficionado of The Goon Show and a friend and admirer of the principal stars of the series, Sir Spike Milligan, Sir Harry Secombe, Peter Sellers and Michael Bentine.
With Charles’ accession to the throne in 2022, all the patronages of the late Queen and the Prince of Wales were subject to review, a process which took time. Let’s face it, we couldn’t expect to be a priority.
However, we’ve been able to start 2026 with the news that ‘His Majesty would be delighted to retain the Patronage of the Goon Show Preservation Society’.
We’re immensely proud to have His Majesty King Charles III as patron of our organisation. We wish him the most heartfelt support for the years ahead. Long may he reign.
