"Queen Mary took a big interest in the upbringing of her granddaughters, Elizabeth and Margaret. Their own parents thought it unnecessary for them to have a strong educational regime, so Mary felt it was up to her to educate the young princesses by taking them to art galleries and museums"
Today is Queen Mary' 71th death anniversary. She passed away on march 24, 1953 at the age of 85, in Marlborough House, London (same house where George V was born)
Rest in peace Queen Mary with all your loved ones 🌹

Time to bring back my favourite Trooping the Colour footage from 1949. Then Princess Elizabeth, on her horse Tommy, is coming closer to Prince Philip who’s behind the camera and it’s like you get to see a glimpse of the real Lilibet .

It’s hard to talk when you’re chewing gum. – – When did you get that? I’m not sure. Think it might have come after a kiss.

The Duchess of York with Princess Elizabeth and a canine friend at Glamis Castle.
I've read that the Duke took this photo and it was in 1930 when Elizabeth was pregnant with Princess Margaret. Hence the strategic placement of the dog and the wall!
Good job, Bertie. It's a sweet photo!

King George VI, Queen Elizabeth, Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret, 15 December 1936.
On 11 December, following the abdication of King Edward VIII, the Duke of York was proclaimed Sovereign, as King George VI. Realising that there would be a demand for photographs of the new Royal Family, not just at home but worldwide, a sitting was booked with Marcus Adams for four days after the accession.

‘At the end, the service got rather boring as it was all prayers. Grannie and I were looking to see how many more pages to the end, and we turned one more and then I pointed to the word at the bottom of the page and it said ‘Finis.’ We both smiled at each other and turned back to the service.’
