List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Madagascar

Last updated

The Ambassador of the United Kingdom to the Republic of Madagascar is the United Kingdom's foremost diplomatic representative in Madagascar, and head of the UK's diplomatic mission in Antananarivo.

Contents

Madagascar gained independence from France in 1960 and Andrew Ronalds, who had previously been Consul-General, [1] was appointed the first ambassador until he retired in the following year. For two periods there has been no resident ambassador: from 1975 to 1979 the High Commissioner to Tanzania was also non-resident ambassador to Madagascar, and from 2005 to 2012 the High Commissioner to Mauritius was non-resident ambassador.

Madagascar has applied to join the Commonwealth of Nations. If and when it is admitted, the ambassador will become a High Commissioner and the embassy will become a High Commission.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Clarenceux King of Arms</span> Officer of the College of Arms

Clarenceux King of Arms, historically often spelled Clarencieux, is an officer of arms at the College of Arms in London. Clarenceux is the senior of the two provincial kings of arms and his jurisdiction is that part of England south of the River Trent. The office almost certainly existed in 1420, and there is a fair degree of probability that there was a Claroncell rex heraldus armorum in 1334. There are also some early references to the southern part of England being termed Surroy, but there is not firm evidence that there was ever a king of arms so called. The title of Clarenceux is supposedly derived from either the Honour of the Clare earls of Gloucester, or from the Dukedom of Clarence (1362). With minor variations, the arms of Clarenceux have, from the late fifteenth century, been blazoned as Argent a Cross on a Chief Gules a Lion passant guardant crowned with an open Crown Or.
