Former PM Reflects on Legacy of Queen Elizabeth II

NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham reflecting on the legacy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the fond memories he has of interacting with her during his terms as Prime Minister of The Bahamas.

One such memory is of being invited to sit at her dinner table on a number of occasions during Commonwealth Heads of Government Meetings.

“I was always amazed by two things: firstly, how normal, and regular an individual she was in person and secondly, her incomparable memory that permitted her to speak with personal recollection of matters personal to whomever she was speaking. She certainly had a storage of information on The Bahamas,” the former PM writes.

Queen Elizabeth II visited The Bahamas on four occasions, including most recently in 1994 while Ingraham served as Prime Minister.
