Press Release
Press Release of the Monarchist League of New Zealand
9th December 2001
The people of New Zealand will be pleased with the announcement that Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh will be visiting New Zealand this coming February.
The royal tour, originally scheduled for October, was postponed in late September with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, because of the international security situation. It is fitting that the rescheduled visit will be taking place in the month which sees the 50th anniversary of Her Majesty's accession to the Throne.
We look forward to the Government's announcement of the programme of official celebrations during 2002 of Her Majesty's Golden Jubilee.
Dr Noel Cox
Chairman
