The Queen danced with a President, and by the end of the decade, Britain had its first female Prime Minister. For Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, it began in Australia.
Royal Visits Down Under
Australia featured frequently for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II during the 1970’s. Along with her husband Prince Philip, and her children Princess Anne, and for part of the trip, Prince Charles, she visited Australia at the beginning of 1970 to help mark the celebration of the discovery of Australia by Lieutenant James Cook, two hundred years earlier.
In an event that drew worldwide attention, Her Majesty returned to Sydney, Australia in 1973, to open the world-famous Sydney Opera House, and again in 1974 to open the Australian Parliament in Canberra.
