Afterwards
Gloucester was sworn in on 30 January 1945 as Australia’s eleventh Governor-General. He conscientiously carried out his public duties without any controversy, as he maintained a gruelling schedule by making himself visible to ordinary Australians. He brought his own Avro York aircraft and covered 63,Nike Air Classic BW,000 bush miles within two years.[iv]

Australia's Role in the Abdication Crisis
Elizabeth II: Heir-Presumptive
George II of England (1727-1760)
The appointment was not an enormous success despite Gloucester’s close friendship with Curtin. He had less cordial relations with Chifley.
He married Lady Alice Montague-Douglas-Scott on 6 November 1935 at Buckingham Palace[ii]. Australia’s wedding gift to the Duke and Duchess was a writing desk made from Australian timbers, worth £150.
He was created Duke of Gloucester by his father, George V, on 31 March 1928.
He attended Eton College and trained at Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, in 1919,Nike Shox Turbo, before he spent a year at Cambridge University.
The Prince was a good athlete who enjoyed cricket, Rugby Union football, long-distance running and tennis. He also represented both his university and regiment at polo matches.
He represented the crown abroad on several occasions i
E J Ward, the Member for East Sydney and Federal Minister for transport,Nike Air Rejuven 8, believed the Labor Government was taking a step backwards by appointing a member of the Royal Family. Ward preferred an Australian citizen[iii], but other ministers did not share his views.
Gloucester’s appointment also confirmed the Crown’s importance as the centre of Empire unity, rather than dependence on the United States.
Governor-General
The position was originally offered to his younger brother, the Duke of Kent, but he was killed in a plane crash in Scotland during active war service in 1942.
Prince Henry joined the Army in 1921—the 10th Royal Hussars. The Prince’s military career was put on hold in 1936 when his eldest brother Edward VIII abdicated and he was required to share the Royal Family’s public duties. He resume active service during World War II.
However, Gloucester’s term did not finish until 11 March 1947, so he resigned on 19 January when he was quickly recalled to England as Regent during George VI’s absence in South Africa. He left his plane as a farewell gift for the Australians’ use.
Gloucester visited Australia for Victoria’s Centenary celebrations in 1934.
Prince Henry was born on 31 March 1900, at York Cottage,Nike Air Max 95, Sandringham. He was the third son of George V of Britain and his wife Mary of Teck.
They had two sons: William (1941-1972) and Richard (b 1944).
The Duke and his Duchess even participated in Australian celebrations for victory in Europe in May, and the Pacific in August.
“Australians will be deeply appreciative of his Majesty’s action in appointing a member of the Royal Family to be Governor-General of Australia. All in the country will look forward with affectionate and loyal interest to the arrival again in Australia of His Royal Highness.”[i]
Early Life
They endured the heat, snakes, rats and the isolation at their official residence, Yarralumla.
Tight security surrounded the Duke’s voyage to Australia as World War II was still raging. The Duke was accompanied by his wife and sons. Security concerns increased when a German U-Boat followed them. The enemy submarine was eventually sunk en-route.
Gloucester appointed Frank Forde as Prime Minister after Curtin’s death in 1945. Forde was defeated by Ben Chifley in a leadership ballot six days later.
