The Sunday Times revealed earlier this year that WA Premier Roger Cook planned to write to Buckingham Palace, inviting the King and Queen to visit the State.
“WA is prepared to roll out the red carpet for the pair, and show them what makes our State so special. From the stunning beaches and wine regions of the south to the rugged natural beauty of the north, there are countless options for the couple to relax and enjoy WA.
“And I’d love to see the King and Queen pose for a quokka selfie on Rottnest Island — an experience that is truly unique to WA.”
