According to a dispatch on the back of the above postcard from Little Darwin’s roving royalty reporter, Dame Tania Battenburg , the rulers of the Hutt River principality, in WA, are looking fragile - that is why they were unable to attend the Queen’s London knees up for Kate and William. Our respected correspondent recently visited the sovereign state and was granted a personal audience with Prince Leonard and Princess Shirley.
Prince Leonard fondly recalled making an overseas trip to Magnetic Island, Queensland, in his younger days when he was asked to advise a group wanting to secede from the Commonwealth of Australia.
A wise observer , Prince Leonard probably believes that the way things are going in the unfortunate lucky country of Australia , now in the grip of a vicious revival of the War of the Roses, it could soon be over- run by carpetbaggers , slave drivers and sellers of jerry built tandem bicycles with faulty valve rubber.
The much admired royal couple recently celebrated their 64th wedding anniversary and managed to do a stately gavotte, with the aid of Dencorub, in the Hutt River Palais de Dance before a crowd of applauding subjects , their forelocks held back by bobby pins .
