It was Colonel Allon Nugawela.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Col: Nugawela on the other side of the line said \u201c The H.E. wants to speak to you. \u201c\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">It was His Excellency William Gopallawa. He inquired whether I had anything special to do on that date. I told him in the negative. Then he said:<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">\u201cMr Senaratne, I have a special visitor and would like you to remove some photographs for me.

He was living at Peradeniya Road in the Commissioner\u2019s Bungalow which was Peradeniya Police Station until recently and now belongs to the University of Peradeniya. So, he knew my father very well at that time. I also came to know him.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Col: Nugawela who was on the extension, said:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">\u00a0\u201cCome at nine and be on time.

Nugawela on the steps of the Pavilion waiting for me, as I knew him personally. He took me inside the Pavilion and was talking about the old times and Kandy. Three vehicles came in around ten in the morning and by that time HE William Gopallawa was there on the steps of the Pavilion to greet his special visitor who turned out to be the Crown Prince of Sweden Carl Gustaf (The present King of Sweden)\u00a0<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">He was dressed in the uniform of a Navy Cadet and with him was the Captain of the Craft and I believe his wife and a Consular member.<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">After refreshments, Col. Nugalwela called me to remove some photographs while they were on the lawn at the rear of the Pavilion. After this, Col. Nugawela said that the Prince wished to ride an elephant.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #ff0000;\"><strong>&#8220;I gave the photographs to my newspaper and I expected at that time it would appear on the front page, but it appeared on the back right-hand upper corner of the paper.

I went up to him and told him it was a very tame elephant and that he should have no fears.\u00a0<u><\/u><u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">I told the Mahout:\u00a0<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">\u201cHe is a King and be careful.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-41051 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/King.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"875\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">He replied<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">\u201cDo not tell lies.

Perhaps, this is the only photograph in the world where a King had ridden an elephant without any trappings on the back of an elephant, not even a cloth. It is no easy task to be on an elephant without any covering &#8211; but, Crown Prince &#8211; now King of <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">Sweden did it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">The Captain of the yacht he arrived came up to me and requested some copies and wanted them in Colombo the next day. I said that I would do it as I was taking the photographs for my paper the Ceylon Daily Mirror.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">The next day around nine in the morning the photographs were given to the Captain of the Yacht &#8211; I was told later that it was a Mine Sweeper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 24px; color: #000000;\">I gave the photographs to my newspaper and I expected at that time it would appear on the front page, but it appeared on the back right-hand upper corner of the paper.
