Bestowed with the Rank of Knight Commander of the Illustrious Order of Merit for:

No change to this attitude of assisting others is expected, given his obvious concerns for others he may come across but rather he no doubt will continue to give and provide.

Knight Commander Royal Order (K.C.R.O.)


K.C.R.O.

 

  Capt. Sir Richard Ananda Barton KCOWL., MCM., BA (Hons)., RHRL.
(Gosnells - WESTERN AUSTRALIA)
 
Bestowed with the Rank of Knight Commander of the Royal Order for:
Ongoing loyal and outstanding service with the Royal Hutt River Legion serving his local community and humanity in general.

Capt. Sir Ananda is the Commander of the 1st Barton Platoon based in Perth, Western Australia.
He does not hold a "desk position" but rather is actively engaged in every effort of his Platoon. He constantly leads his members by example and is always looking to find new recruits to join his Platoon that they may take on even more work to assist those in need. He and his troop continue to seek out work that is needed to be done, people who need to be helped and any other activity or opportunity to help others.
In 2014 Cpt Sir Ananda and members of his troop took part for the first time in the HBF Fun Run based in Perth W.A. where the aim is to raise money for a very important community charity "Lifeline W.A."
Lifeline WA is an organisation that keeps people safe from suicide, supports people in crisis and keeps people emotionally well.
The 2015 event is now preparing to be run though unfortunately Cpt. Sir Ananda finds himself alone in his ability to take part this year as other members of the troop are unable to take part. Ananda has registered himself and will take part alone representing the PHR and the RHRL, such is his conviction to help others.
We ask on this occasion that you consider helping Sir Ananda by clicking the donate link on his FunRun page and making a donation - every bit helps!
HBF Fun Run

Congratulations:
Sir Richard 'Ananda' Barton KCRO., KCOWL
MCM., BA (Hons)., RHRL.

    Re-Appointing of Royal Duchesses

When the first Earl Marshal of the Royal College of Heraldry first created the Titles and Honours Act of the Principality all 4 of the Royal Sons were appointed Duke and each received their own individual Dukedoms by way of individual names.
It is not understood just why, but the three Royal daughters whilst being each appointed a Duchess, were all appointed as a Duchess of Hutt, thus no individuality at all.

HRH Prince Leonard, with the agreement and support of the PHR Earl Marshal has chosen to mark this, the 45th anniversary of secession as the time that each of the daughters shall be named as a Duchess in their own Right.

As from today the three Royal Duchesses will be known as:
 

   
   

Princess Kay

--

Duchess of Malarus 

   
   

Princess Diane

--

Duchess  of Mount Joy

   
   

Princess Sherryl

--

Duchess of Castile
