For most of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 181-year history, a queen has sat on the throne of Great Britain and the Commonwealth realms. For the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s first 59 years it was Queen Victoria, the monarch who granted Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Royal Charter in 1841. For the past 70 years, it has been Victoria카지노 게임 컬렉션s great-great-granddaughter, Elizabeth.

Now, after generations, a king again has taken on the royal mantle. And Charles III has many connections to the university.

The new king, you see, is a Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s alumnus. King Charles III accepted an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the university during his 1991 visit to the campus with Diana, Princess of Wales.

During his convocation address, Charles suggested his 카지노 게임 컬렉션second-class degree from Cambridge카지노 게임 컬렉션 wasn카지노 게임 컬렉션t much of a recommendation for the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s doctorate. He hoped a 1983 honorary doctorate from the 카지노게임사이트 of Alberta, the only other Canadian university to have honoured the then prince, might mitigate 카지노 게임 컬렉션my lack of appropriate qualifications.카지노 게임 컬렉션

During that same visit, the future king unveiled a replica of the charter granted to the university by his then 22-year-old great-great-great-grandmother just four years into her reign. The replica had been donated to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s by students for the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s sesquicentennial anniversary and is on permanent display in the John Deutsch 카지노게임사이트 Centre. While at the JDUC, according to the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Journal, Charles observed that 카지노 게임 컬렉션Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s is one of the friendliest universities I카지노 게임 컬렉션ve been to in a long while.카지노 게임 컬렉션

During his convocation address, he had many more kind words to say about the university named for his long-reigning forebear.

카지노 게임 컬렉션You have here an institution of world repute, with a spirit, a cohesiveness, and an envied reputation of both playing hard and working hard. All these, combined with the highest standards of scholarship and research, make Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s one of the most sought-after educational establishments in North America.카지노 게임 컬렉션

And my alma mater, he might have added.
