A Message from His Excellency The Prince Douglas, Grandmaster of The Sovereign & Independent Order of The Commonwealth

t gives me the greatest of pleasure to welcome you to this independent UK web site.

   On this section you will learn about the Sovereign & Independent Order of the Commonwealth.

As I have stated elsewhere the traditional values of chivalry do not preclude the use of modern technology. We are all most optimistic about the future uses of this great instrument, the Internet.

There are now Members of the Order of the Commonwealth in some twenty-five countries on all the inhabited continents. We speak dozens of mother languages and are members of all the kindred races of humankind. And yet, we are united. What unites us? The love of fair play, of justice and charity and the noblesse centuries ago.

As we advance in this new century we are confident that the Order of the Commonwealth will continue to grow and flourish. My best wishes to all who read this.
