Book, Our Royal Guests, 1952_

Historical information

Published in 1952, before the death of King George this book tells the family story of the Windsors in anticipation of the first Royal Visit of Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh to Australia.
An added note from a member of the public: "Bit of information on the book “Our Royal Guests” 1952. None of these books were sold or distributed as the visit was cancelled due to King's ill health and passing. My father printed them and they were instructed to have them picked up and destroyed. The only ones in circulation would be from workers during this process."

Significance

Due to the King's death, the anticipated Royal Visit was postponed until 1954.
