Patron: HRH The former Prince of Wales
RNC's Patron, His Royal Highness Prince Charles
The Royal National College for the Blind is proud to have held a long connection with the royal family. 

Queen Victoria was the College’s original patron, with HRH the former Prince of Wales, taking up the patronage in 1997.

In 1979 Prince Charles paid a flying visit to Hereford to informally re-open the College following its move from Shrewsbury to Hereford. It literally was a 'flying' visit as the former Prince of Wales piloted his own helicopter to attend the 90 minute visit. A more detailed account of the visit can be read here.
