Concerns rise over potential censorship of royal documents set for release in 2026 and 2027

Reports indicate that thousands of government documents about Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are set to be released in 2026 and 2027. Researchers are concerned these files may be censored before their public release. The Advisory Council has expressed frustration with the Cabinet Office, which they claim is delaying the release of royal documents. They seek a more transparent process for handling these records. Experts note a growing reluctance to release historical records related to the royal family. The Cabinet Office maintains that all records are released according to the Public Records Act.
