Celebrating:

The 49th Anniversary of the Principality.

&

Laying to Rest,
the Ashes of HRH Prince Leonard.

21^st April 2019

It is also the first year without our beloved founder and first Sovereign
HRH Prince Leonard George Casley who passed away February 13^th 2019.

To celebrate the Anniversary and remember Prince Leonard, 2 events will be celebrated together.
The 2 events being the 49th Anniversary and as was Prince Leonard's wishes, the laying of his ashes to rest in the PHR; and we are inviting the public to attend by special invitation.

Come to Nain and celebrate our 49th Anniversary with us, be guided around the buildings and showcases as well as listen to our story and ask your questions of our Sovereign
Prince Graeme who will guide you through.

A special Visa Card will be issued on the day only, so a great souvenir to keep, and it will be required for all adults attending to have a visa the cost of which is only $4 per person (Children n/c).

The day will commence with the release of 2 new postage stamp issues by the
Royal Hutt River Postal Service.

1. Set of 4 stamps of famous scientists, various face values, original art by
   Lord David P. Burkart KGSRO, KCOWL, PHR Earl Marshal.
   
   This set was destined for release on this day commemorating the 49th Anniversary of the PHR and as both a salute and recognition of Prince Leonard's many, many years of involvement in physics and mathematics, something for which he is known throughout the world
   and well respected for his discoveries.
   
   The stamps will be available, as will a First Day of Issue Cover, at the PHR Post Office.
    
2. The second issue is a single $10 face value Memorial postage stamp.
   The design features a photo of HRH Prince Leonard in his Robes and with the Royal Sword, taken in the Chapel of Nain by a PHR Royal Photographer Hon. Hugh Brown of Western Australia.
   
   The stamp and a First Day of Issue Cover will be available at the PHR Post Office.
   
   NOTE: A very limited number of "Special Commemorative" First Day of Issue Covers will be produced and only available over the counter at the PHR Post Office on the Celebration day April 21st 2019 for each of the two issues. If you want that extra "investment" item to keep for the grandkids then consider these 2 special covers as well as the normal FDC for each issue.
   
   *Remember, a very limited number of the "Special" First Day Covers produced (60 ea) and only available here in the PHR on the Celebration day, April 21 2019.
   
   That will be 2 first Day of Issue Covers for each issue and the first time the PHR has issued such.

(Stamp details available soon).

During your visit, take a look through at your own leisure, take photo's as you please and why not take a quick seat in the Royal Chairs located in Princess Shirley's Chapel of Nain but remember; left seat for the male (Chair of the Sovereign Prince), right seat for the female (Chair of the Princess).

Take in the many pieces of art that may be found throughout, paintings, pottery and statues, found art, stone carving etc etc with special attention to the art of Taiwan that was presented to the Principality some years ago by the Taiwanese people in Melbourne, Victoria; and then take a look at the many beautiful Chinese dresses presented to HRH Princess Shirley and now displayed
in the tea-rooms for all to see.

Each building is full of interesting pieces of history should you take the time to look, pieces include a piece of the Berlin Wall that was presented to Government officers and Heads of State (Prince Leonard included), piece of the Golden Gate Bridge removed as part of normal maintenance and again presented to people. There are items donated by Diplomats, Police departments, Military members, Naval ships,  dolls in international dress of many lands and much more from all around the globe.
