Royal Prerogatives: The Principality of Hutt River

Fortieth Anniversary of Hutt River Province, April 21 2010

The Principality of Hutt River will celebrate its 40th anniversary on April 21.

A special coin is being minted and a commemorative stamp will be issued. The Ruling Prince Leonard (pictured) and his wife Princess Shirley along with their sons, Princes Ian, Wayne, Richard and Graeme are planning the largest celebrations the Principality has seen.

Already the capital, Nain, has seen the construction of a new ablution block as well as a new caravan and camping area which Prince Leonard describes as “just part of the works already underway.”

Prince Leonard recently announced his 89th birthday honours list. Sixteen recipients were honoured, variously, with the Principality’s Illustrious Order of Merit, Red Cross of Hutt, Serene Order of Leonard and Order of Wisdom and Learning.

Further details of the 40th anniversary celebrations are available on the Principality's website. .
