The first attached link is to a letter sent in 2016 by Mrs Sonia Bernici on behalf of The Queen to 'Prince Leonard' of the 'Principality of Hutt River Province', a 'principality' that purported to have seceded from the Commonwealth of Australia in 1970. Astonishingly, Mrs Bernici offers 'Prince Leonard' "Her Majesty's good wishes ... for a most enjoyable and successful celebration ... to mark the 46th anniversary of the Principality of Hutt River".
The letter is at:

For information about the Principality of Hutt River, which was abolished after 'Prince Leonard's death by his son and heir, 'Prince Graeme' [I'm not making this up] and returned to farming land, see:

Mrs Bernici's letter, addressing its recipient at 'Prince Leonard' and appearing to recognise the existence of the 'Principality of Hutt River' represents an extraordinary and very surprising lapse of judgement. The most charitable explanation would be that Mrs Bernici had no idea who 'Prince Leonard' and the the 'Principality of Hutt River' actually were.
