In the 2000s she was in Melbourne and opened up the new royal children’s hospital. She also opened the original royal children’s hospital.

Imagine being so old that the hospital, built when you were an adult, was so old it was no longer fit for purpose. Metaphor!

The same couldn't be said for her sister, sadly. The old Children's hospital in Perth was called "Princess Margaret Hospital". Unfortunately, Princess Margaret was no longer with us for the new one, so it has the very boring name Perth Children's Hospital.
