[1] Following his 2017 retirement as Bishop of London, Richard Chartres remained as Dean while Sarah Mullally became accustomed to her various duties and responsibilities as Bishop of London;[4] as such he assisted at the Baptism of Prince Louis on 9 July 2018[5] and the traditional Epiphany service at the Chapel Royal on 6 January 2019.
The deanery was annexed to the bishopric of Dunblane in 1621, and the Chapel Royal was removed to Holyrood.
The office of Dean was suppressed with the abolition of prelacy in 1689, and the revenues of the Chapel Royal reverted to the Crown.
[7] The Chapel Royal (Irish: Séipéal Ríoga) in Dublin Castle was the official Church of Ireland chapel of the Household of the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from 1814 until the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922.
From 1831, the principal chaplain to the Lord Lieutenant was usually styled Dean of the Chapel Royal.
