\u00a0“DEPENDABLE-DEFENCE” \u2013 By Des Kelly<\/span><\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0This extremely interesting TRUE STORY was sent out by a good friend and ex Royal Ceylon Navy Officer, Chris. Lawton-O.A.M., relating to the recent\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Racist-Rantings” going on in England, in relation to “The Royal Family” versus a slightly less Royal Family, involving Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle, Oprah Winfrey, and the entire\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social-Media Corporation of America, it seems, intent on discovering the “Culprit of the Colour” controversy now rampant in both old Blighty and the new Land of the free America, under it’s new President, Joe Biden.<\/span><\/p>\n

With Covid 19 still causing havoc in both England & America, vaccinations being “rolled-out” everywhere, Wars, still being fought all over the place, Climate-change, in full swing, Icebergs melting in the Arctic, floods, bushfires,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Volcanoes spitting out red-hot lava, etc., etc., the COLOUR(English), COLOR (American) of a baby’s skin, takes pride of place in this so-called “BREAKING NEWS”.\u00a0 What colour was Archie’s skin going to be ??. I am very sure that Archie doesn’t care, I don’t care either, because right now, I am more interested in this fascinating account of the son of a former aide de camp of the Queen of England, defending the Monarch and those closest to her of any silly comment, whatsoever.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thank you Chris.Lawton, for the story, and readers of eLanka, everywhere, please enjoy it, wherever you are.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Maj Gen Anton Muttukumaru was a barrister, soldier and diplomat who loved collecting walking sticks. He was known for being charming and shrewd, had a talent for mimicry, and was once driven to Ascot to join the Queen because she was too busy enjoying the races to meet him at Buckingham Palace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), Muttukumaru was the Queen\u2019s aide-de-camp in 1954.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, almost 70 years on, and with the\u00a0royal family caught in a race storm<\/a>\u00a0in the wake of the Oprah Winfrey interview with Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Muttukumaru\u2019s son Christopher spoke to the Guardian about his father\u2019s experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

He described the friendship his father had with the Queen which endured for years beyond his time in service.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYears later, whenever my father came to the UK to visit my family and me \u2013 long after he had any official position in the army or diplomatic service \u2013 the Queen would give him a private audience in Buckingham Palace,\u201d said Christopher, a former general counsel to the Department for Transport. \u201cThere was no need for her to do that \u2013 my father was just an ordinary member of the public by this time \u2013 but she made time in her diary for him from the 70s onwards.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One year, when the Queen was at Ascot at the time of Muttukumaru\u2019s visit, her private secretary arranged for him and his wife to be driven to see her there. \u201cMy parents watched the races with the Queen in the royal box and my father won \u00a325 \u2013 which he was cock-a-hoop about because he didn\u2019t know the first thing about horse racing,\u201d Christopher said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The first Sri Lanka-born soldier to command his country\u2019s army, Muttukumaru read PPE at Jesus College, Oxford, in 1928 and became a lawyer at Gray\u2019s Inn before returning home in 1934.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muttukumaru joined the Ceylon Defence Force and at the outbreak of the second world war he was in charge of the South East Asia Command headquarters in Kandy.<\/span><\/p>\n

After the war, Muttukumaru came to London to lead his soldiers in the victory parade. He returned six years later with his men for the funeral of George VI in 1952, and a third time a year later for the Queen\u2019s coronation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hearing of his plan to attend her coronation, the soon-to-be Queen issued a personal invitation \u2013 couched as a command \u2013 to attend the service in Westminster Abbey. Muttukumaru, however, decided to march with his soldiers instead.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to his\u00a02001 obituary in the Telegraph<\/a>, the Queen forgave his refusal and, after later seeing his men mounting guard at Buckingham Palace along with her own guardsmen, congratulated him on the smartness of his men.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRegarding the controversy over a member of the royal family asking (if true) about the colour of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s son, my point is that if she was somebody who harboured views about coloured or black people, it certainly didn\u2019t come through in her treatment of my father,\u201d Christopher said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muttukumaru went on to become his country\u2019s high commissioner to Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan. In 1966 he became ambassador to Egypt. Four years previously he had hosted lunch for the Queen Mother in Canberra with his wife, Peggy, and the then Australian prime minister, Harold Holt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muttukumaru, who died in 2000 aged 92, always spoke with great affection of the Queen\u2019s treatment of him, said his son.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
