Sir William Frederick Payne Heseltine, GCB, GCVO, AC, QSO, PC 1930-2026

 Sir William Heseltine, GCB, GCVO, AC, QSO, PC, died 2 October, 2026. He was 96.

The Guardian: [Heseltine] has a strong claim to have been one of the most consequential royal courtiers during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II, and was perhaps her favourite. Not only was he the first Australian to enter the tweedy aristocratic atmosphere of the royal household, but during his 27 years at the palace, rising from an assistant information officer to being the queen’s private secretary (1986-90), he initiated changes that have shaped public perceptions of the family firm ever since.

In the words of the royal biographer Ben Pimlott, whereas Heseltine’s predecessors had done everything to keep the press out, he “saw it as his job wherever and whenever possible to let them in”. Heseltine, said Pimlott, “was the first press secretary who recognised a need to sell royalty to the public and, if necessary, to shape its behaviour accordingly”.

Sir William joined the Prime Minister's Department (Australia) in 1951, where he remained until 1962. He was Private Secretary to Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies from 1955 to 1959, Acting Assistant Press Secretary to the Queen from 1960 to 1961, and Acting Official Secretary to the Governor-General of Australia, The 1st Viscount De L'Isle, from May to August 1962.

From 1962 to 1964, Sir William was Assistant Federal Director of the Liberal Party of Australia, and in 1964 was attached to The Age (Melbourne). In the same year, he was attached to Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent, for her tour of Australia. Heseltine joined the Press Office of The Royal Household as Assistant Press Secretary to the Queen and served in that position from 1965 to 1967. He was Press Secretary from 1968 to 1972.

In 1972, Heseltine was moved to the Private Secretary's Office proper, becoming Assistant Private Secretary. In 1977 in the Queen's Silver Jubilee year, he was promoted to Deputy Private Secretary and, in April 1986, to Private Secretary to the Sovereign, and Keeper of the Queen's Archives. He retired in October 1990.

He was born in East Fremantle, Western Australia, 17 July, 1930, the son of L.F. Turner, of Melbourne, he was twice married, firstly, to Ann Elizabeth Turner (who died in 1957), and married 2ndly, Audrey Margaret Nolan, daughter of S. Nolan, of Sydney, by whom he had issue, one son and one daughter.

He was appointed MVO in 1961, CVO in 1969, KCVO in 1982, and GCVO in 1988, CB, in 1978, KCB in 1986, GCB in 1990; AC 1988, and QSO 1990. He was sworn of the Privy Council in 1986.
