Court of St James's

The Court of St James's is the royal court for the Sovereign of the United Kingdom. All Ambassadors and High Commissioners to the United Kingdom are formally received by the Court, and all Ambassadors and High Commissioners from the United Kingdom are formally accredited from the Court, not the United Kingdom, as they are representatives of The Crown. Official meetings and receptions associated with the court, such as Privy Council meetings or the annual Diplomatic Reception attended by 1,500 guests, are held wherever the Queen is in residence – usually Buckingham Palace.
