Dear Prince Graeme, We wish to send our heart felt condolences to your entire family. We had the pleasure of staying overnight last April and met both Prince Leonard and Prince Graeme. My 7 year old daughter still talks about the day she met 2 Princes. We left Hutt River Province in complete awe of the amazing man Prince Leonard. A true inspiration. RIP Prince Leonard the only positive is that you are united with your Shirley.
You are a true legend.

Dear Lord Baikie. Lady Valerie and I, and indeed my brother John in Malta when I contacted him, were all very sad to hear the news yesterday that Prince Leonard had passed. I would appreciate it if you could pass to Prince Graeme our sincere condolences, and assure him that we, like many others, have the nicest warm memories of his late father and Princess Shirley. We very much enjoyed meeting the family when I was honoured with my knighthood, and will never forget the hospitality offered to us all on our visit to Hutt River. I believe the funeral may be taking place in Geraldton, and regret we won’t be able to get up for that, if I am misinformed and it is to be held here, we would be honoured to attend and pay our respects. Our very best wishes to and your family too. Sincerely,
Sir Michael & Lady Valerie Barnes, K.S.O.L. |

Your Royal Highness
Prince Graeme. We would like to express our sincere condolences to you and your family on the passing of His Royal Highness Prince Leonard. We made the pilgrimage from Victoria to meet and visit with Prince Leonard in 2016. It was an honour to be received by Prince Leonard and a pleasure to be able to spend time with him chatting about his amazing life. The photo I have together with Prince Leonard on the steps of the Government Office is a very fond memory Prince Leonard is an inspiration and leaves behind a tangible and lasting legacy of what can be achieved by one man who refuses to roll over for tyrants and bureaucrats. Prince Leonard reminds us all we never have to accept government sponsored stupidity, poor governance, and misrepresentation by those we elect to lead and serve us You have some large shoes to fill Prince Graeme, and we wish you every the success. We look forward to visiting the Principality again and paying homage to you, His Royal Highness Prince Graeme. Long live the Prince Take strength in the knowledge that Prince Leonard, his story and his fight touched many people, and he wont be forgotten. Best wishes. Ross Fraser Victoria, AUSTRALIA |

Dear Prince Graeme May we take this opportunity to extend our sincerest condolences to your Family on the passing of “Prince Leonard”. We were fortunate enough to have met your Father at Hutt River Province in 2014, and we remember him as a wise man with a fantastic personality. He talked with us at length about Princess Shirley, his early potato marketing strategies and of course Malcolm Fraser and his encounters with the unfair systems that caused the creation of Hutt River Province. Take comfort in knowing that he was extremely well liked and admired by many.
May God Bless you all, |
Earl Marshall.

Dear Prince Graeme This morning we learned with deep sadness of the passing of Prince Leonard. Although we met your father only once, at his invitation to attend the launch of a William Pitt book in Sydney, and only spent brief time with him, that time was much enjoyed and we felt an immediate sharing of friendship. You may not know that I wrote to Prince Leonard several years ago asking his permission to write a musical about his life. My husband who is a well known composer and arranger wrote the music and I wrote the book which is intended as a low bow to the integrity and intelligence your father displayed during a very difficult time, and we were delighted that your father fully endorsed the concept. I wrote it as a kind of Mouse That Roared if you are familiar with that production. We spent a lot of time in researching the situation and although several directors have loved the script, finding finance to mount the piece has never eventuated. This is a great disappointment to us as we really wanted Prince Leonard to reap some kind of broad acknowledgement for his efforts. Maybe that will still happen, we still keep trying. The passing of your father strikes such a sad chord with me, he stood up against the corrupt government, not for just himself but for all farmers and their wheat crops. That kind of thinking is not so thick on the ground these days and the world is so much poorer for his loss. With our sincere Condolences, Alwyn and Laurie Lewis AUSTRALIA |

Dear Prince Graeme, It is with great sadness that on Wednesday afternoon I received notice of the passing of your father, His Royal Highness Prince Leonard. His Royal Highness was a great man and an inspiration to many for his tireless efforts to stand up against Governments when they acted against the wishes and welfare of the people. Please accept my deepest condolences on his passing. As you know, I was greatly honoured to have met Prince Leonard on a number of occasions starting from the 14th of February 2001 when he flew to the Gold Coast to create me a Baronet with the KRO. I was the first Baronet created in the Principality of Hutt River, an honour I greatly appreciated. Some years ago I was also invited along with Lady Marie- Theres Wallfahrt to attend your families Easter celebrations in the Principality where we got to meet all the members of the Family. An occasion we both greatly appreciated. It was also our great pleasure to drive you back to Perth after that weekend. Please pass on to all members of the family my deepest condolences. I remain Sir, Your obedient and trusted servant.

I recall meeting him in 1991 when visiting
and staying in the principality for a while. He and Princess Shirley were
so welcoming. Very fine great people.
This is a very sad and difficult time.

Hello,
I was very sad to hear of the passing of HRH Prince Leonard
of the Principality of Hutt River. I had the pleasure of meeting the Prince and indeed Princess Shirley on many occasions when I worked as a tour guide / driver for a local Perth tour company. Our visits to Hutt River were always an interesting part of the trip. I have fond memories of the Prince going through his 'routine' in the gift shop and of him always informing the tour groups that they needed to look after me … a royal decree!
Best wishes at this sad time …. |

Sir, It is with profound regret that I leaned of the demise of your revered head of state, HRH Prince Leonard. I had the very great privilege of meeting Prince Leonard in 1982 when he was on an official visit to No.1 Squadron, RHRPAF, at that time stationed at Melton Field near Melbourne in Victoria. The sole aircraft attached to the squadron at that time was a superb FUJI I had the pleasure of flying on occasion. The commanding officer at the time was my friend Wing Commander (RHRPAF) David Thomas. I was subsequently promoted to the rank of Wing Commander (RHRPAF) by HRH Prince Leonard and I retain to this day my letter of authority. I wish the Principality all the best for the future and will continue to visit your webpage to stay up to date with your activities. Best regards, |

Too all, I am saddened to hear of the passing of Prince Leonard. He was a great man who valued equality and justice when facing the tyranny of a repressive, bureaucratic, and self-serving government. His Highness showed immense creativity, resourcefulness and incredible pluck to stand up for what was right regardless of the consequences, even when he knew those consequences would be unduly biased against him. He has been and will continue to be a great inspiration. I wish Prince Graeme wisdom as he continues to rule and his fellow siblings, peace and a sound resolve now that His Highness has departed.
