Will you please communicate to The King the following message in acknowledgement of His Majesty's strictly private and personal message of today,† Begins: His Excellency the Governor General has kindly communicated to me Your Majesty's private and personal message of today. I thank Your Majesty for having imparted to me, as Prime Minister of Canada, the word that Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Queen have given your consent to the betrothal of Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten. I am greatly pleased to know of the happiness which has come into the life of Her Royal Highness and which I know will also bring great happiness to the Queen and yourself. The announcement when made will, I am sure, he warmly welcomed by the people of Canada. It will be an honour to arrange to have a Privy Councilor representing Canada attend the meeting of Council to be held at Buckingham Palace during the last few days of July. W.L. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada. Ends. | |
