The aim of my work is to show the changing relationship between the media and the British Royal Family and to demonstrate the perception of the public image of the British Royal Family and the changes that this family underwent over the last 170 years. This thesis deals with six sovereigns, from the reign of Queen Victoria to Queen Elizabeth II and describes their relationship with the British media, such as radio, television, internet and newspapers. It chronologically describes the most significant events that had a remarkable impact on the perception of the British Royal family and provides evidence of the constant change of public views as well as the role of media in news supplying. It covers the time from the reign of Queen Victoria, the arrival of the 20th century, the first world war, the second world war, the post-war period to the current era at the beginning of the 21st century. The results of this thesis intend to prove how new technology and public relations have impacted directly on the Monarchy and its standing in the UK as only recently the Queen has succeeded in becoming the longest reigning monarch in UK history. I would like to demonstrate the shift in the position of British royal family members as the distant remote figures to their current position when they are exposed to some intimate media attacks on a regular basis and slowly becoming detailed known characters. Some of the news reports even show how aggressively the media´s approach can be and what reaction these reports can evoke. The thesis shows the changes in boundaries regarding what is acceptable to report, establishes the needs that the royal family has towards to the media in regards of necessities to be in the public eye to preserve the continuity of public interest in the royal family and describes the fascination worldwide that people have with the British royal family and the reason why the British royal family is the most famous royal family in the world. 6 The first chapter of this thesis deals with the reign of Queen Victoria as I believe she was the first “visible” British monarch, for example her royal tours and the Great Exhibitions provided many chances for the people to see their Queen. The second chapter describes Queen Victoria´s oldest son, King Edward VII, whose scandalous life was frequently reported by the press, but on the other hand his effort to ensure the allies for a possible future war conflict and his relationship with other countries were noticed by journalists and later many times described as his significant steps of his reign. The third chapter deals with media coverage of King George V who was famously known for getting close to his subjects. Being a soldier himself, he could easily imagine a struggle during the war conflict and in successive years. He had to deal with anti-German campaign in the newspapers and in reaction of this campaign, he changed the family

  • The Rt Hon Douglas Hurd CBE MP LONDON 15 March 1994 Sir VISIT
    The Rt Hon Douglas Hurd CBE MP LONDON 15 March 1994 Sir VISIT OF HM THE QUEEN AND HRH THE DUKE OF EDINBURGH TO THE CAYMAN ISLANDS 1.1 have the honour to report that Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh paid a most successful visit to the Cayman Islands from 26-27 February 1994. 2. The visit came eleven years almost to the day since their first visit to the territory. That visit is still remembered by the Cayman Islanders and this second visit will undoubtedly remain in their memories for as long. It was a most happy occasion; the programme went like clockwork and it was clear that both The Queen and The Duke enjoyed visiting one of the remaining Dependent Territories where everything works and where they were truly welcome. 3. I estimate that there were more than 3000 people gathered on the main street overlooking George Town harbour to welcome the Royal couple when they landed by barge from the Royal Yacht Britannia which had sailed into view shortly after 8 a m on Saturday 26 February escorted by the frigate HMS Lancaster. After the usual formalities and presentations the motorcade proceeded to the Legislative Assembly, The Queen and The Duke riding in the Rolls Royce which was purchased by the Cayman Islands Government for this occasion subsequently to become the Governor's official car. After inspecting a Guard of Honour drawn up by the Royal Cayman Islands Police, the Royal Party entered the Assembly where Her Majesty read the Speech from the Throne All members of the Legislative Assembly and their spouses were presented in the Speaker's Room and we then proceeded to what I consider to be the highlight of the visit: a public investiture on the steps of the Assembly when Cayman's first knight, Sir Vassel Johnson, Kt„ CBE, was formally dubbed in front of a large crowd.

  • Diana, Princess of Wales
    Diana, Princess of Wales The Lady Diana Frances Spencer (Diana Frances Mountbatten- Windsor, née Spencer) (1 July 1961–31 August 1997) was the first wife of Charles, Prince of Wales. From her marriage in 1981 to her divorce in 1996 she was styled Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales. After her divorce in 1996, Diana ceased to be a Royal Highness and The Princess of Wales and instead was styled Diana, Princess of Wales. She was often called Princess Diana by the media and the public, but this was incorrect both during and after her marriage, as she was only ever a Princess by marriage, not by birth.' An iconic presence on the world- stage, Diana, Princess of Wales was noted for her pioneering charity work. Yet her philanthropic endeavours were overshadowed by her scandal-plagued marriage to Prince Charles. Her bitter accusations via friends and biographers of adultery, mental cruelty and emotional distress visited upon her riveted the world for much of the 1990s, spawning books, magazine articles and television movies. From the time of her engagement to the Prince of Wales in 1981 until her death in a car accident in 1997, the Princess was arguably the most famous woman in the world, the pre-eminent female celebrity of her generation: a fashion icon, an image of feminine beauty, admired and emulated for her high-profile involvement in AIDS issues and the international campaign against landmines. During her lifetime, she was often referred to as the most photographed person in the world. To her admirers, The Princess of Wales was a role model — after her death, there were even calls for her to be nominated for sainthood — while her detractors saw her life as a cautionary tale of how an obsession with publicity can ultimately destroy an individual.

  • Letters from a Fish to His Admiral (Pdf)
    LETTERS FROM A FISH TO HIS ADMIRAL BEING BRITANNIA NEWSLETTERS 1-20 17th November 1953 – 9th April 1954 from Acting Captain J S Dalglish, Royal Navy to Rear Admiral Connoly Abel Smith, Royal Navy (temporarily absent with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on board the S.S. GOTHIC for the Commonwealth tour of 1953/4) COMMISSIONING BRITANNIA The following notes and letters were written by Acting Captain J S Dalglish, the Officer in charge of Commissioning BRITANNIA, and getting her ready for Royal service, between November 1953 and April 1954. They were written to Rear Admiral Conolly Abel Smith who was on SS Gothic, in temporary use as a Royal Yacht, for The Queen’s Commonwealth Tour 53/54. Upon his return to the UK, Admiral Abel Smith would then become in charge of BRITANNIA, as the first Flag Officer Royal Yachts (FORY). Throughout his career Captain Dalglish was known as FISH. We have a copy of his autobiography – Life Story of a Fish. Prologue SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS ON “BRITANNIA” AT THE BEGINNING. Selection Officers were nominated by Flag Officer Royal Yachts after personal interviews, after which approval was formally given from the Palace. Royal Yachtsmen (who were ranked as ‘Riggers’ in V&A, but with us they became just ‘Yachtsmen’), were all volunteers in response to an AFO in 1953. About 1,000 names came up and we began, of course, with examination of Service Certificates from which any who were not VG Superior were eliminated (although I seem to remember some of our Stokers were VG Satisfactory because of numbers).

Users should turn their hearing aids to the setting marked T. Members of the congregation are kindly requested to refrain from using private cameras, video, or sound-recording equipment. Please ensure that mobile phones, pagers, and other electronic devices are switched off. It is my great pleasure, as Chairman of the Council of Commonwealth Societies, to welcome you to this very special event. In a deeply disturbed and uneasy world, the Commonwealth family assembles once again at Westminster Abbey to celebrate and give thanks for our unity, friendship, shared purpose and values. With half of the Commonwealth’s peoples being under twenty-five, this is the family and the network in which tomorrow meets today, in which the aspiring young who are the future come together with those who have built the past and the present. Today there are forces and trends at work more powerful than any single government that are binding together the young people of all Commonwealth countries as never before—and in ways which would have astounded their forbears. A new kind of Commonwealth is emerging. Instantaneous contact, and constant and open communication unite schoolchildren and students, professional people of all kinds, sportsmen and women in every field, entrepreneurs, ideas and investors, artists and authors, faiths and friends in a daily conversation and worldwide association the like of which exists nowhere else.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: ROYAL SUBJECTS
    ABSTRACT Title of dissertation: ROYAL SUBJECTS, IMPERIAL CITIZENS: THE MAKING OF BRITISH IMPERIAL CULTURE, 1860- 1901 Charles Vincent Reed, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Dissertation directed by: Professor Richard Price Department of History ABSTRACT: The dissertation explores the development of global identities in the nineteenth-century British Empire through one particular device of colonial rule – the royal tour. Colonial officials and administrators sought to encourage loyalty and obedience on part of Queen Victoria’s subjects around the world through imperial spectacle and personal interaction with the queen’s children and grandchildren. The royal tour, I argue, created cultural spaces that both settlers of European descent and colonial people of color used to claim the rights and responsibilities of imperial citizenship. The dissertation, then, examines how the royal tours were imagined and used by different historical actors in Britain, southern Africa, New Zealand, and South Asia. My work builds on a growing historical literature about “imperial networks” and the cultures of empire. In particular, it aims to understand the British world as a complex field of cultural encounters, exchanges, and borrowings rather than a collection of unitary paths between Great Britain and its colonies.
