HRH Sovereign Prince Graeme
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.
Melanie, Trevor, Mikayla and Cooper Constantine.
Your Royal Highness Prince Graeme.
On behalf of the Royal Enfield Club of Australia, may I offer our
condolences to the Family of Prince Leonard and all close associates.
Please keep the club informed of arrangements as they come to hand.

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.

Dear Prince Graeme and family
Prince Leonard, the founder, was your father and a fine man. He was also the
father of a fabulous idea -- a principality at the bottom of the world.
I recall meeting him in the 1970s when visiting the principality as a young
reporter. He and Princess Shirley were so welcoming. Fine people.
This is sad and difficult time. My Thoughts are with you and your family.
Please accept my condolences.

HRH was always a great friend of the Royal Enfield Club of Australia and was
our esteemed Club Patron for many years. I know he took a keen interest in
our activities and his letters to Club Members were always well received
when read to Members at our AGMs.
I am sure the Club will be represented at HRH's service whenever it is held,
however I just wanted offer my personal thanks to a great man for his
service to our Club.
had the great honour of receiving a PHR Knighthood a couple of years ago and
am hoping to attend the 50th anniversary celebrations next year, though the

We are saddened to hear the news of Prince Leonard’s passing. We were the

before he advocated. I have attached a photo of our daughter when we met
Prince Leonard on our trip. Although still young she was surprised and quiet
sad of the news.

Dear Prince Graeme.
The world feels slightly smaller today.
Those who dare to dream - and who in their turn find ways to turn their
dreams into reality - they serve to inspire us all.
This is not an original observation, but it's still worth reiterating:
Prince Leonard was - and remains - an inspiration - and his legacy will
inspire generations of idealists to come.
Prince Leonard led where others only ever quietly dreamed of going; and he proved that one man holding firm to his beliefs and values can change the world for the better.
Rest In Peace Prince Leonard.

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,

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,

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.

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 ….
Yours sincerely

Dear Prince Graeme
It is with great sadness that I learned the rapel of God from His Highness
Prince Leonard. If God takes us one to one our friends, it is to make them
the stars of our heaven so I remain convinced that he will continue from the
top to pay special attention not only to the people of the Principality and
especially to you who had today the heavy burden of continuing the work of
this great statesman with whom we had the chance to share great vision
thanks to his high quality of listening.
I beg you to receive my heartfelt condolences.

Greetings Prince Graeme.
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your father Prince Leonard.
He was unique. There will never be another individual like him. His inner
strength and resolve was illimitable. His fundamental decency created
organisations and opportunities that are inspiring achievers everywhere.
He made a difference.
Vale Prince Leonard.

Dear Sir/Madam.
We would like to express our sincere condolences to HRH Prince Graeme and
Royal Family on the passing of
HRH Prince Leonard George Casley.
HRH Prince Leonard was a man that stood up for his principals, what he believed in and did not cower in adversity.
He will be fondly remembered as a man that changed history and established the Principality Of Hutt River.
Our thoughts are with you 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,
Chris McDonald

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.
Kindest Regards,
Sir Mark A Hartley K.R.O.

We were saddened to read only recently of the passing of Prince Leonard back in February.
As a workgroup we have been very interested in the Principality and have been following it for several years. Because of our interest, Melanie’s parents were able to visit recently and passed on to us their fond memories and the wonderful details of their visit.
Please accept our deepest sympathy.

I wish to send you my warmest and most sincere condolences. Your father, Prince Leonard, was one of the most outstanding personalities.
I will always remember my short, but unforgettable, relationship with him, when I was researching the book on the Principality.
May he be in peace. He will never be forgotten.
