The Great Yorkshire Show is organised by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, and HRH The Prince of Wales is the Patron.

The show is no stranger to royal visitors. Most recently, in 2008, Her Majesty The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh were guests of honour, and two years earlier, The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall toured the show. The Princess last visited the Show in 1992.
