Book Royal Visits to Australia

Download or read book Royal Visits to Australia written by Jane Connors and published by National Library of Australia. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of Australia’s total population of around nine million, an estimated seven million people turned out to catch a glimpse of the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II in 1954. Sixty years later, in April 2014, television news bulletins, newspapers and social media were awash with stories of the royal visit of Prince William, his wife Catherine and their baby son George. The frequent, whirlwind royal tours of today are a far cry from those to Australia between 1867 and 1954. These stretched over months, bursting with events such as civic receptions, state banquets, military reviews, cricket matches, agricultural shows, processions, schoolchildren’s pageants and the laying of foundation stones. Occasionally shambolic, quarrelsome and raucous affairs, they were always intensely patriotic. While most of the visits described in this book are from the British Royal Family, royals from other countries appear too, including ‘Our Mary’ of the Danish Royal Family, proudly claimed by Australians as their own. Royal Visits to Australia provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolving Australian psyche and cultural identity. Although our enthusiasm for the Royal Family has waxed and waned over the decades, it is tempting to attribute the fervour of today’s young people to modern celebrity culture. Royal Visits to Australia uncovers an affection that runs much deeper than a passing crush. The book is richly illustrated with stunning full page and double-page black-and-white photos from the early years to magnificent colour photos of more recent years. Also included is a vast array of drawings, lithographs, illuminated addresses, magazine articles, programs, menus and invitation cards and other souvenirs. Royal Visits to Australia is packed with fascinating stories and firsthand accounts. Read about an assassination attempt on Prince Alfred, the first royal visitor, in 1867; the weeping and hysteria of hundreds of thousands of people at Fremantle at the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, in 1901; the unprecedented scenes of wild welcome at the 1954 visit of Queen Elizabeth II, the first reigning monarch to visit Australia; allegations of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) attempting to assassinate Prince Philip in Sydney in 1973; media obsession with discerning romantic gestures and stories of cracks in the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, in the 1980s; and, in 2014, William and Kate’s visit, with baby George in tow, the first royal tour since the social media revolution.

Book Narrative of the Visit of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh to the Colony of Victoria Australia Classic Reprint

Download or read book Narrative of the Visit of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh to the Colony of Victoria Australia Classic Reprint written by John George Knight and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative of the Visit of His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh to the Colony of Victoria, Australia Throughout his stay, the Duke of Edinburgh underwent the penalties of Royalty with the utmost readiness, courtesy, and grace; all the official ceremonials were duly and willingly performed, and those who were brought most closely in contact with his Royal Highness can testify that no one could be more anxious to oblige everybody, and more ready to sacrifice his own personal comfort and convenience to that end, than he himself. It is, of course, a matter of conjecture when next the Australian colonies are to be honoured by a visit from a member of the Royal Family, but it may be respectfully suggested that whenever it occurs no Royal guest shall be compelled to devote more than sixteen out of every twenty-four hours to the discharge of official duties, the balance being left for his own enjoyment and rest. With regard to the beneficial effects which are likely to accrue to the several colonies in consequence of the Royal visit, it is but reasonable that we should look to such a happy event as one of a series of means to render the Australian provinces better known and appreciated in England than they are at present. That the Prince and members of the Royal party have been astonished at the advanced progress of the colonies, is no more than we might have expected to hear; but his Royal Highness has gone much beyond this, and has expressed himself as very gravely impressed with the evidences of general prosperity and of the greatness of Australia. Such assurances as these are highly gratifying, and there can be little doubt that when the Prince returns to England, public attention will be much more directed towards colonial affairs, and it is to be hoped that a more generous tone will be adopted towards these southern portions of the British Empire, after his Royal Highness has enlightened the authorities with regard to their condition and importance.
