Royal Bermuda, produced by Brimstone Media, also examines various royal visitors through the decades, from Princess Louise to Lady Di, and takes a fascinating look at several serious local collectors of royal memorabilia. The influence of British royalty on Bermuda’s maritime traditions is displayed, the role of yachts and liners such as Britannia or the Queen of Bermuda, for example, along with our military forces and fortifications.
Along with a pictorial timeline of British monarchs, the book details the way royal favour, traditions, and even iconography-royal cyphers on postal pillar boxes or police officers’ buttons-have shaped Bermuda’s history and, indeed, still play a part in our daily lives. Edward Harris, executive director of the National Museum, traces these ties from the first months of settlement in 1612 to the modern day. Royal Bermuda, by authors Rosemary Jones and Dr. The latter, who celebrated 60 years on the throne in June 2012, has visited the island seven times, including five official tours.
The island counts itself one of the first-and last-British colonies or overseas territories, beginning in the era of New World exploration under the first Elizabeth and continuing through the reign of our present queen. Bermuda’s 400-year-old links to the British monarchy are explored in a new pictorial edition published by the National Museum of Bermuda.
