- This file contains correspondence on the coronation of King George VI. The correspondence is primarily between the following: the Secretary of State for India; the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf; the Secretary of State for the Colonies; the Permanent Under-Secretary of State for India; and the Resident at Aden. It includes material relating to the following matters:
- The journey of Prince Seif-uyl-Islam al-Hussein [Sayf al-Islām al-Ḥusayn bin Yahyā Ḥamīd al-Dīn] of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen from London to Paris and Rome
- The invitation to the Sultan of Muscat [Sulṭān Sa‘īd bin Taymūr Āl Bū Sa‘īd], the Sheikh of Bahrein [Sheikh of Bahrain, Ḥamad bin ‘Īsá Āl Khalīfah], the Sheikh of Koweit [Sheikh of Kuwait, Aḥmad al-Jābir al-Ṣabāh], and the King of Yemen [Al-Imām al-Mutawakkil Yahyā Muḥammad Ḥamīd al-Dīn] to attend the coronation ceremony of King George VI in London
- The invitation from the Colonial Office to the Sultan of Lahej [Sulṭān ‘Abd al-Karīm II bin al-Faḍl al-‘Abdalī] and the Sultan of Shehr and Mokalla [Sulṭān of Shihr and Mukalla, Sulṭān Ṣāliḥ bin Ghālib al-Qu‘ayṭī] to attend the coronation ceremony of King George VI
- The decision to invite the Arab rulers of the Gulf to the ceremony in light of Lieutenant-Colonel Trenchard Craven William Fowle’s view ‘as to the local importance of not allowing it to be thought in the Gulf that these rulers had been forgotten and the consequent desirability of extending to them some form of invitation though they might not avail themselves of it’.
