Abdication of HRH Prince Leonard HRH Prince Leonard was called forward and approached the microphone and said some words of thanks for his time (47+ years) as Sovereign of the PHR and explained that it was for reasons of his degenerating health that he had started to prepare for just this event approx 3 years ago but the final decision had to come quickly to him in recent months as he is aware that his health is now deteriorating at a faster rate and he still has much he wishes to complete so now is the time to step back, a time where he will still be around to lend support or advice or anything else that the new Sovereign may ask for. HRH Prince Leonard then read out the words that he was to sign in his declaration of abdication, those words being: I, HRH Prince Leonard
