The British Royals: a Queensland story
Queensland State Archives has launched a new foyer and online exhibition on the British Royals in early June 2011.
Since 1868, there have been around 39 royal visits to Queensland by the British royal family, with HM Queen Elizabeth II the only reigning monarch to have come to Queensland. Her first official trip to Australia took place over 55 years ago, in 1954, the year following her 1953 coronation.In March 2011 HRH Prince William visited Queensland to tour places damaged by floods and Cyclone Yasi.
Queensland State Archives engaged an historian to explore its collection and write an historical essay on the royal visits to Queensland. Read more about the history and see photos of the royals -
