7 minutes to read Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip (1921 - 2021) acknowledge crowds in Hastings.
Hawkes Bay Today
Two paces behind.
For 69 years, His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, on official engagements of his wife, Queen Elizabeth II, followed royal protocol. The late Prince Philip, however, was not lagging behind when it came to being actively interested in whatever the royal engagement was. This was evident during Queen and Duke s first tour of New Zealand during 1953/54 and their 1963 tour.
Hawke s Bay eagerly awaited the royal couple for their arrival on January 6, 1954 in Napier and then on to Hastings the next day.
