‘Fingers crossed Dubbo’s as good as they say!’ THE excitement and momentum is building around the region as the date for the Royal Visit gets closer and closer. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex (we know them best as Prince Harry and Meaghan) will be in Dubbo on October 17 and, as Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said in Parliament last week, this will be a momentous occasion. At a time when Western NSW is still in the grips of a drought, Mr Coulton said “the Royal visit to Dubbo will be a very welcome event in what is a challenging time for many”. The thought of royals visiting our zoo and walking our streets has many locals remembering past visits, or their own brushes with royalty in other parts of the world. Dubbo Photo News is compiling as many of your stories and photos as we can, to share with the whole city closer to the date of the royal visit. Inside today, Dubbo Photo News journo Natalie Holmes shares her “brush with royalty” story. We’re on the lookout for more. Details on how you can share your story are also inside.
