International Monarchist League - Affiliated Organizations

Affiliated Organizations

The Australian Monarchist League was affiliated with the Monarchist League in London from its founding in 1943. However, due to the growing battle with republicans it was felt that it needed to be a wholly Australian body to defer criticisms that it was just an offshoot of a UK group; it severed its affiliation in 1993, and became an independent group. The separate Monarchist League of Australia replaced it as an affiliate in 2006. The Monarchist League of New Zealand and the Monarchist League of Canada were founded independently of the London-based Monarchist League and had no formal affiliation. However, the Monarchist League remained in close contact with the Canadian group, and on 11 March 1989, Lord Nicholas Hervey had a long meeting at London's Savoy Hotel with Mr John Aimers, then Chairman of the Monarchist League of Canada, in order to examine ways in which the two groups could co-operate more closely.

The league maintains a certain affiliation with several university groups in the UK; the Oxford Monarchists, the Strafford Club of St. Andrews University, and the League of Monarchists of the University of Durham which had Lauder-Frost as its guest-of-honour at their Dinner on April 24, 2007.

The Constitutional Monarchy Association is a late 1990s formation of the Monarchist League and focusses on maintaining and strengthening the constitutional monarchy in Britain. The association operates from the Monarchist League's offices, and publishes a journal The Crown (formerly entitled Realm of Kings). It has often been called upon to respond to anti-monarchist statements within the UK. The CMA is governed by a separate council, in theory separate from that of the league. Lord Sudeley acts as the Chairman.
