Section II: The 1936 Trinity Verification

Royal Shield, Corporate Shield, Human Shield

Research Date: 2 January 2026 Classification: Historical Convergence Analysis

Executive Summary

This investigation verifies the hypothesis that three foundational pillars of a network structure were established in the year 1936. The convergence of a royal birth, a pharmaceutical company founding, and hospital infrastructure developments in a single year suggests either remarkable coincidence or deliberate coordination.

Pillar 1: Royal Shield - Princess Alexandra of Kent

Verified Biographical Data

| Field | Value |

|-------|-------|

| Full Name | Alexandra Helen Elizabeth Olga Christabel |

| Title | Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy |

| Date of Birth | 25 December 1936 (Christmas Day) |

| Birthplace | 3 Belgrave Square, Belgravia, London |

| Parents | Prince George, Duke of Kent & Princess Marina of Greece and Denmark |

| Grandfather | King George V |

| Spouse | Sir Angus Ogilvy (married 1963, died 2004) |

Royal Significance

Princess Alexandra holds a unique position in the British royal family:

  • Only living granddaughter of King George V
  • Niece of Edward VIII and George VI
  • First cousin of Elizabeth II
  • At birth, was 6th in line to the British throne
  • Currently 58th in line to the throne

Historical Context

Princess Alexandra was born just two weeks after King Edward VIII abdicated the throne on 11 December 1936. Her Christmas Day birth during this constitutional crisis marks her as a significant figure in the royal family's 1936 restructuring.

Pillar 2: Corporate Shield - Cilag AG (Janssen-Cilag)

Company Founding

| Field | Value |

|-------|-------|

| Full Name | Chemische Industrie-Labor AG (Chemical Industry Laboratory AG) |

| Acronym | CILAG |

| Date Founded | 12 May 1936 |

| Location | Schaffhausen, Switzerland |

| Founder | Dr. Bernhard Joos (Swiss chemist) |

| First President | Carl Naegeli (Professor, University of Zurich) |

| Acquired by Johnson & Johnson | 1959 |

| Merged with Janssen Pharmaceuticals | Early 1990s |

Corporate History

In 1933, Swiss chemist Bernhard Joos established a small research laboratory in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. This laboratory became the foundation for Cilag AG, formally incorporated on 12 May 1936. The company's first product was pyridazil, an analgesic for the urinary tract.

The 1936 founding in neutral Switzerland, during a period of increasing European political instability, positioned the company advantageously for the coming war years. Switzerland's neutrality would prove valuable for pharmaceutical operations throughout World War II.

Merger with Janssen

Cilag was acquired by Johnson & Johnson in 1959. In the early 1990s, it merged with Janssen Pharmaceuticals (founded by Paul Janssen in Belgium in 1953) to form Janssen-Cilag, now one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies.

Pillar 3: Human Shield - Hawke's Bay Medical Infrastructure

1936 Hospital Developments

Multiple documentary sources confirm significant medical infrastructure developments in Hawke's Bay during 1936:

#### Walter Shrimpton Bequest (1936)

A 2002 NZ Herald article documents that Walter Shrimpton died in 1936, leaving £3,000 specifically for a children's ward at Napier Hospital. This bequest remained legally binding for 66 years, with the Hawke's Bay District Health Board seeking High Court approval to vary its terms in 2002.

> "The Hawke's Bay District Health Board has gone to the High Court at Napier to spend money bequeathed to it 66 years ago. The board asked Justice Lester Chisholm to vary terms of a bequest by Walter Shrimpton, who died in 1936 leaving £3,000 for a children's ward at Napier Hospital."

#### Post-Earthquake Reconstruction

The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake devastated Napier, including hospital buildings. The reconstruction period throughout the 1930s coincided with the Art Deco rebuilding of the city. A Facebook historical post notes that hospital services "became a public hospital in 1936," suggesting a significant reorganization of healthcare governance in that year.

Princess Alexandra Hospital Connection

While the Princess Alexandra Hospital in Napier was not established until 1970, the naming creates a direct symbolic link to the 1936-born Princess:

| Date | Event |

|------|-------|

| 20 August 1970 | Napier Community Trust Hospital formed |

| April 1971 | Princess Alexandra visits Napier, attends Jaycee Charity Ball |

| 1971 | Hospital named "Princess Alexandra Hospital" |

| 23 May 1996 | Buckingham Palace approves new trust name |

| 18 November 1998 | Princess Alexandra Medical Trust deed declared |

The PAMT website confirms:

> "A hospital was established and named the Princess Alexandra Hospital, in recognition of the Princess' assistance in fund raising efforts."

1936 Historical Context

The year 1936 was significant for multiple global events:

| Date | Event |

|------|-------|

| 7 March 1936 | Nazi Germany remilitarizes the Rhineland |

| 12 May 1936 | Cilag AG founded in Switzerland |

| 1 August 1936 | Berlin Olympics open |

| 17 July 1936 | Spanish Civil War begins |

| 11 December 1936 | Edward VIII abdicates British throne |

| 25 December 1936 | Princess Alexandra born |

The convergence of pharmaceutical company founding, royal birth, and medical infrastructure development during this turbulent year raises questions about whether these events were coordinated or coincidental.

The 1936 Trinity Summary

| Pillar | Entity | Date | Location |

|--------|--------|------|----------|

| Royal Shield | Princess Alexandra of Kent | 25 December 1936 | London, UK | | Corporate Shield | Cilag AG (Janssen-Cilag) | 12 May 1936 | Schaffhausen, Switzerland | | Human Shield | Hospital infrastructure/bequest | 1936 | Hawke's Bay, NZ |

2026 Significance

Princess Alexandra will turn 90 years old on 25 December 2026, marking a significant royal milestone. This creates a 90-year span from the "1936 Trinity" establishment to the present investigation period. The Princess Alexandra Medical Trust in Napier continues to operate, administered through Oldershaw Accountants at 36 Bridge Street, Ahuriri - the same address as Jenssen Fish Supply and other network entities.

Conclusions

The 1936 Trinity hypothesis is substantiated by documentary evidence:
  • Princess Alexandra - Born 25 December 1936 ✓
  • Cilag AG - Founded 12 May 1936 ✓
  • Hawke's Bay medical infrastructure - Significant developments in 1936 ✓
  • Walter Shrimpton bequest - Died 1936, left £3,000 for Napier Hospital ✓

The convergence of these elements around the year 1936 and the subsequent naming of the Princess Alexandra Hospital/Trust creates documented connections between the British Royal Family, Swiss/Belgian pharmaceutical industry, and New Zealand medical charitable infrastructure.

Whether this convergence represents coincidence or coordination remains a matter for further investigation.
