Description
The accession of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 occurred in the midst of the gradual transformation of the old British Empire into the new Commonwealth of Nations. Constitutionally the adoption of a shared monarchy among autonomous nations was a relatively simple procedure made possible by such acts as the Royal Style and Titles Act of 1953. The task of transmitting this new reality into the consciousness of citizens was a greater challenge. This article looks at two initiatives intended to extend the notion of shared status beyond its legal dimension. The first was the Canadian tour of the Coronation Robes under the administrative responsibility of the National Gallery of Canada in 1954-55; the second was the opening of Canada's Parliament in 1957 by Queen Elizabeth II. **********
