On March 26 2009 Miss Julia Galvin arrived in Nain from her home in Ireland, having contacted HRH Prince Leonard in 2008 offering to represent this Principality in her chosen sports. HRH readily agreed to this offer and in return was pleased to accept Julia  as an honoured Overseas Citizen of the Principality and rather than proceed by mail Julia had decided that she would attend Nain in Person to receive her certificate and Passport etc and of course to receive her Royal Commission to represent this Principality in World Championship events wherever they may be held.

A small Ceremony was held in Nain in the company of a journalist and photographer from the Geraldton Guardian Newspaper, as well as others, where Miss Galvin proudly received her paperwork and Royal Appointment etc.

Julia was also presented with a full size Principality flag that she will now take with her to all events where she will see that it is flown and should her fine skills remain with her then many will see the Principality Flag waving above the winners dais.

Julia competes in many forms of novelty sports including World & Northern Ireland "Bog Snorkelling", "Mountain Bike Bog Snorkelling" and is also world renowned for her exploits in the finer skills involved in the "Wife Carrying World Championships" held yearly in Finland as well as in skills such as the "World Stone Skipping Championships". If there is a novelty sport you can count on the Principality representative Julia Galvin as being there. Julia competes around the world wherever the competitions may lead her! and will now compete as a Representative of the Principality of Hutt River

We at PHR are proud to have Julia representing us and will certainly be reporting on her exploits!

Check out Dame Julia's latest exploits in each of the sports shown on the left and
 notice of her current or upcoming exploits will be shown immediately below to enable all to follow.
