Probyn Inniss

Inniss was born in Saint Kitts, where he attended secondary school, and went on to study at the University College of West Indies, graduating in 1961.

After working as a schoolteacher for a period, he went to England to study law, eventually being called to the bar as a member of the Middle Temple.

He entered the civil service on returning to Saint Kitts,[3] and in June 1967 was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his work.

[4] In August 1975, Inniss succeeded Sir Milton Allen as Governor of Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla, an Associated State of the United Kingdom.

Simmonds consequently wrote to Elizabeth II to request the removal of his commission as governor, which occurred in November of that year.
