Royal Rota

The Royal Rota is the press pool that covers the British royal family. The Royal Rota is made up of a select group of media representatives that are invited to attend and report on royal events, with the understanding that the news and photographs taken at the event will be freely shared with other members of the media. This pool system decreases the number of media representatives that would otherwise attend, which helps to alleviate space and security concerns.
