The Private Secretary's Office (PSO)
Queen Elizabeth reviews the day's business with Sir Robin Janvrin, one of her three Private Secretaries. Considered to be the official link between the monarchy and the outside world, the Private Secretary's Office runs the Queen's schedule at home and overseas, administers her constitutional duties and deals with events as they arise. The PSO is responsible for supervising the Press Office and the Coordination and Research Unit, which helps to plan the work of all the members of the royal family. The Queen's "red boxes," which contain everything from state papers to internal memos, also are prepared by the PSO.
