ACT of PARLIAMENT: Recognition of the Dynasty of Persia

5 JULY 1751

WESTMINSTER HALL OFFICE of the SOUTHERN DEPARTMENT

MEMBERS, I come before this body to present a treaty that has been worked out for several weeks between the leading officials of a new claimant of the vacant state of Persia, and His Majesty's Honourable Cabinet. This decision and treaty, which has been referred to the Privy Council for review, shall take the steps to instate Alessandra the one, true Queen of Persia. His Majesty's Government is content that Her Grace shall be a suitable candidate for this most prestigious of titles and the nation and state of Persia.

TREATY of CAIRO

This document is an official declaration to affirm that, in compliance with the Treaty of Istanbul, placing the territories comprising of the former Ottoman Empire, including the splitting of two new entities known as Turkey and Persia, into the custodianship and held in trust by the honourable representatives of the Dynasty of Persia, that the Kingdom of Persia, and its territories will be formally recognized in totality by the trust of Great Britain to Alessandra of Persia as a result of the treaty.

This treaty will affirm His Majesty’s Government’s commitment to the preservation of the “Pax Britannica”, British Peace, the overall peace throughout Europe that has endured largely since the downfall and death of Phillip V of Spain in 1746.

His Majesty’s Government finds the claimants to the throne of Persia to be a suitable fit for the succession and stability of the new Persian government. We, the Lords entrusted by His Majesty the King and the Honourable Houses of Parliament, find Alessandra to be the sole suitable candidate for the throne of Persia.

The main participants in the treaty were Queen Alessandra, the Queen-claimant to Persia; and Prime Minister Lord Goldtimbers-Newcastle of Great Britain & Ireland. Lord Grey, the Southern Secretary, served as chief author and wrote the treaty on behalf of both parties.
