This is a list of members of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom appointed during the reign of Elizabeth II , from 1952 to 2022.
Eight Privy Counsellors resigned during Queen Elizabeth's reign—John Profumo (1963) after misleading the House of Commons, and four others upon criminal conviction carrying a sentence of imprisonment, John Stonehouse (1976), Jonathan Aitken (1997) Chris Huhne (2013) and Denis MacShane (2013);[ 1] one, Elliot Morley (2011) was expelled (the first expulsion since 1921).[ 2] Additionally, Lord Prescott , the former Deputy Prime Minister, resigned in 2013 in protest over politicisation of handling of a press complaints charter being considered by the Council.[ 3] Sir Seamus Treacy , a Lord Justice of Appeal in Northern Ireland, resigned shortly after his appointment in 2018.[ 4] Percival Patterson resigned in 2022 noting a national consensus that Jamaica should become a republic.[ 5]
