I have just finished rereading The Little Princesses by Marion Crawford, and cant find anything in the book that could have upset the Queen Mother so I am wondering if the story that she dropped Ms. Crawford is true ?
thanks for answer! i never knew about herElspeth said:Sara, Marion Crawford was the governess hired by Elizabeth Duchess of York to look after and teach Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret in the early 1930s...,
tiaraprin said:When Marion Crawford died, not one Royal sent condolences, flowers, or attended the funeral. I think their anger at her was unwarranted because she never said anything that was of substance or damaging. She was promoting them (and herself albeit) in a positive manner, not negative.
Esmeralda said:The British upper classes make an art form out of being unforgiving to transgressors, but even in that context the Queen Mother was an absolute master. Marion Crawford might not have been treated quite as badly by some other royals.
