The Lord-Lieutenant represents His Majesty The King and, when she is attending in an official capacity in Oxfordshire, she takes precedence over other civil dignitaries or guests at official events and should be met on arrival by the host. Where the Lord-Lieutenant is represented by the Vice Lord-Lieutenant or a Deputy Lieutenant, the same etiquette and protocol should be followed. 

The Lord-Lieutenant, along with the Vice Lord-Lieutenant and a team of 43 exceptional Deputy Lieutenants, promotes and encourages voluntary and charitable organisations, and takes an interest in the business, urban, rural and social life of the county to support HM The King’s primary interests of Community, Climate, Culture, and the Commonwealth.
