Why? Because we are amusing ourselves with things about Queen Mary. She was given that third brooch - the spray of maple leaves - which the Queen wore recently in Canada. |

Another photograph of the allegedly unmaternal Queen Mary. Nellie, you wouldn't happen to have one of Queen Mary and King George which appears in the Pope-Hennessy bio, would you? It's the most tender one I've seen of them -- she's got her hand on his knee. |

X-rays taken of Queen Mary and King George in 1897, then causing a furore around the world as a novelty. You can see Queen Mary's ring and bangles and King George's cufflink, which I think is very cool. What small hands the King had! Over in Russia around the same time, their imperial counterparts Nicholas and Alexandra, were having the same X-ray treatment. |

The baby pic is gorgeous! I have Pope-Hennessy and will look for the pic. (A bit busy at the moment.) I have always liked this one - |

AwwWWww! That is so SWEET. The Queen once wrote to the King about a long war absence from each other, saying she had gone to his bedroom just to feel his presence there -- that they were such a "Darby and Joan" couple. From the various poems about the fictional, well-suited couple. Hand in hand when our life was May Hand in hand when our hair is grey Shadow and sun for every one, As the years roll on; Hand in hand when the long night tide Gently covers us side by side– Ah! lad, though we know not when, Love will be with us forever then: Always the same, Darby my own, Always the same to your old wife Joan. Whenever I think of King George and Queen Mary, I think of them side-by-side, utterly fulfilled in each other's company, growing old together (as they did). |

Joan alone, window shopping. The lady always had an eye for a good window! |

As everyone knows, Queen Mary was very frugal (not to say, downright mean). Not only did she have an eye for shopping, she also had a mouth and wasn't above asking for a discount. I once met an elderly sales lady at the Burlington Arcade who told me funny stories about Queen Mary making her lady-in-waiting hold her umbrella as she haggled with the shop owner over the price of a sought-after bibelot. Who knows, maybe this is the very shop, as it looks very like the Arcade. |

Two shots of Queen Mary inside her Daimler. The second pic might be her last known photo, as it was dated late January 1953 (she died in March). Her long-suffering lady-in-waiting seems to have a premonition about the thing. You can also start to see how intrusive photogs were getting. No respecters of royalty, they. Edit: Oh wait. Is that Alice Athlone or Lady Patsy Ramsay next to her? Her lady-in-waiting of the time, Lady Cynthia Colville, didn't look like that. |

Queen Mary handing over a huge loving cup after Dickie Mountbatten's polo team won. LOVE that smile. |
