Sir Alan Reid, GCVO has been Keeper of the Privy Purse, Treasurer to the Queen and Receiver General to the Duchy of Lancaster in the Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom since 2002. As Keeper of the Privy Purse, Reid is responsible for the expenditure of public funds voted by the Parliament to the Sovereign, usually called the Civil List. As Treasurer to the Queen, he is also responsible for the Sovereign's private finances.[1] The Sovereign also holds the title of Duke of Lancaster (regardless of gender), which brings with it responsibility for the Duchy of Lancaster estates.

Reid was formerly a senior partner with Big Four accountancy firm KPMG. He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO) in 2007 and elevated to a Knight Grand Cross of the same Order (GCVO) in 2012.[2] The knighthood is in the personal bestowal of the Queen and only she may choose to honour an individual with it accordingly.
