| Abstract: | The 13th of November, 1967 saw yet another Malta Postal Administration. First i.e. the official use of the words "Elizabeth II - Queen of Malta" in lieu of "Royal Visit" which hitherto invariably appeared 'in Commonwealth countries commemorating such an event. The use of the phrase which is appearing on the new stamps gives rise to the following questions, some of which have already appeared in the local press: Is Queen Elizabeth going to be crowned Queen of Malta on her arrival here? Or was she already Queen of Malta? Is not Queen Elizabeth the Queen of England? Is it an error on the part of the Postal Authorities? and a host of others. |
