Englishmen everywhere this
month are opening their eyes
from a 12-month dream. The
dream began May 12, 1937,
when King George VI and
Queen Elizabeth ascended the
British throne in colorful coro­
nation ceremonies.
The dream has been a sweet
one, for few Britishers expected
affairs of state to run so smooth­

bitter international strife in
which the empire has more
than once been threatened.

salesmanship for Britain's ruler. Be­
hind scenes he plays as important
a role in national and international
affairs as George V. Arm in arm
with his prime minister, Neville
Chamberlain, he cut through much
diplomatic red tape to lay B ritain’s
position before the world. England
intervened in the Spanish trouble,
talked with H itler and took a hand
in the F a r Eastern crisis.
But these are only a few reasons
why B ritain’s royalty is so popular.
Another, seemingly insignificant, is
the intense attitude of endearment
with which England has adopted its
two princesses, Elizabeth and M a r­
garet Rose. Elizabeth, now eleven,
is in line to succeed her father on
the throne.
Untainted by their position, the
two royal youngsters have not been
allow’ed to “ go highbrow” on their
subjects. Indeed they have prob­
ably been kept as much in the dark
about King Edward V I I I as other
Britons. There is the story of the
princess' discussion of the abdica­
tion:
“ Where is Uncle David?” inquires
Margaret Rose.

Camping at the Palace.
The princesses, like other little
girls, have been enrolled in the G irl
Guides. A special troop was formed
at Buckingham palace for daughters
of close friends of the royal fam ily.
Each week they d rill indoors or
camp in the wilds of the palace
garden, learning woodcraft and
studying nature lore.
M argaret
Rose was recently promoted in rank
from a “ Brownie” to a member of
the “ Leprechaun Six.”
The position of Queen Elizabeth in
raising her two youngsters has been
a difficult one, for most families are
judged by the qualities of their chil­
dren. I f they accepted every invi­
tation, the princesses would attend
parties constantly. But the queen
is determined such things should be
regarded as “ treats.”
Those who meet Princess Eliza­
beth must bow or curtsy, whatever
their age, addressing her as “ Your
Highness.” It is told that Elizabeth
was much impressed when informed
that people would now curtsy to her.
The next day, in saying farewell to
a palace guest, Elizabeth kept shak­
ing the latter’s hand until the guest,
noting the twinkle in her eyes ex­
claimed, “ Why, I believe you’re
trying to make me curtsy!”
"Y es,” said Elizabeth, breaking
into laughter, “ isn’t it funny?”
In a day when kings have fled
their thrones and when dictator­
ships stamp the breath of life from
struggling democracies, the world
can still look with envy on Eng­
land’s constitutional monarchy.
Perhaps the radical James Max-
ton was right in asking if royalty
has any "intelligent justification” in
the Twentieth century. But the op­
posite is also true. At the time par­
liament was discussing expenditures
for the coronation a suggestion was
made that court ceremonials and
pageantry be simplified to give the
monarch more of a private life.
The idea was rejected after wiz­
ened Winston Churchill remarked
that the ancient ritual, throne and
crown
constituted
a
"bulwark
against dictatorship.” I t sounds rea­
sonable.
