Historical Background

Royal Mail traces its origins to 1516 when Henry VIII established a Master of the Posts to carry royal dispatches. The public postal service was established under Charles I in 1635. Royal Mail was privatised in October 2013, with 60% of shares sold to the public in the largest UK privatisation since British Rail. International Distributions Services plc became the parent company name in 2022, though "Royal Mail" remains protected as a registered trademark used under licence from the Crown.
