The first Royal visit to these islands was carried out unofficially. Following the hurricane in 1928 HMS Durban arrived at Grand Turk to offer assistance. Aboard the ship was His Royal Highness Prince George who came ashore incognito and spent the evening at Government House with other officers from the ship. The ship distributed food and assisted the Islanders during this period.
