Oliver St. Clair Franklin, OBE, CBE, Honorary British Consul of Philadelphia and Honorary Member of the Board of the Royal Heritage Society, has announced his retirement effective at the end of 2024. Appointed in September, 1998, he has served for 26 years and 3 months. As a result of his efforts many members of the Royal Family have visited Philadelphia. On many occasions, the Royals included stops at Ormiston Mansion to meet and greet the RHS Board and its membership. These City-wide stop-overs arranged by Franklin resulted in strengthening bonds of friendship and commerce with the UK. Thank you, Oliver, for all that you have done for the RHS.
