Graeme Ernest Casley also known as Prince Graeme (born 1957) was the second, and last, prince of the self-declared Principality of Hutt River, a former micronation in Western Australia. He succeeded his father Leonard on 11 February 2017 after a 45-year self-proclaimed reign.[1]
He abdicated the throne and was forced to dissolve the Principality of Hutt River on 3 August 2020, selling the land that belonged to the Principality to help settle the debts accumulated by his father.[2] He told CNN that "It's very sad watching your father build up something for 50 years and then you have to close it down."[2]
