Having looked it up, I found what I suspected- that the office of Chancellor is one of those largely ceremonial offices that are frequently found in
British public life. In practice, the Vice-Chancellor will probably be doing all the top decision-making;
The current chancellor is Hillary Clinton, who was appointed in January 2020, filling a vacancy since August 2018, when businessman Thomas Moran
died.[3][19] The role is largely a ceremonial one, and she will be present at graduations, act as an ambassador for Queen's abroad and serve as an
advisor for the vice-chancellor.
P.S. Here, for comparison, is the list of previous chancellors. "Viscount Alanbrooke" is actually Alan Brooke, the soldier who was Chief of the
Imperial General Staff in World War2.
Chancellors of Queen's University Belfast:
1908–1923: 9th Earl of Shaftesbury[1]
1923–1949: 7th Marquess of Londonderry[1]
1949–1963: 1st Viscount Alanbrooke[1]
1963–1970: Sir Tyrone Guthrie[1]
1970–1983: Lord Ashby of Brandon[1]
1984–1991: Sir Rowland Wright[1]
1992–1998: Sir David Orr[2]
1999–2009: George J. Mitchell[2]
2009–2015: Kamalesh Sharma[3]
2015–2018: Thomas Moran[4]
