Lieutenant Colonel the Right Honourable Sir

Private Secretary
Telephone No. & Ext.
bebekeden H.C.D., CCB CVO Department
Buckingham Palace.
You advised this office recently that Her
Majesty The Queen had indicated that she would
be pleased to approve that the title "Royal"
be accorded to the Hong Kong Police Force and
the Hong Kong Auxiliary Police Force, and that
we might approach Princess Alexandra to ascertain
whether she would be prepared to become
honorary "Commandant General" of the two Forces.
We have now obtained confirmation from
Princess Alexandra that she would indeed be
prepared to undertake the appointment.
Mr. Stewart would be grateful therefore
if the proposals could now be formally placed
before The Queen with a view to Her Majesty's
pleasure being taken. Mr. Stewart is
concurrently making a formal submission to
Princess Alexandra to seek her formal agreement
to her becoming honorary "Commandant General".
