Royal Visitors

Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s has been a frequent stopping place for royalty.

From the 1800s until the Second World War, the campus saw more than its fair share of British royals:

• In 1879, Governor General the Marquess of Lorne and his wife Princess Louise visited the campus, laying the cornerstone of Theological Hall.
• In 1901, the Duke of Cornwall and York (the future King George V) performed a similar cornerstone duty at Kingston Hall before receiving an honorary degree and praising Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s for 카지노 게임 컬렉션�placing higher education within the reach of all카지노 게임 컬렉션�.
• In 1919, George카지노 게임 컬렉션�s son Edward, the Prince of Wales, received an honorary degree in Grant Hall.
• In 1939, George VI (who had succeeded Edward in the abdication crisis of 1936) arrived in Kingston on a sleek blue and silver royal train.

Queen Elizabeth II first visited Kingston as a princess in 1951. As Queen, she returned in 1959 to open the seaway; in 1967 for Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s centennial; in 1973 for Kingston카지노 게임 컬렉션�s tercentenary; in 1976 for Olympic sailing; and in 1984 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the coming of the Loyalists.

In 1991, Charles and Diana, Princess of Wales, charmed the campus with a visit during Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 150th anniversary year. Like his forebears, Prince Charles received an honorary degree, using his acceptance speech to applaud Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션�s cultural diversity.  

From 1978 to 1981, Prince Takamado Norihito, first cousin to Japan카지노 게임 컬렉션�s Emperor Akihito, studied law at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s. A plaque on the lawn of Summerhill commemorates that royal connection.
