PRINCESS ELIZABETH

“ SAME RATION AS OTHER EXPECTANT MOTHERS” (Rec. 8 p.m.) LONDON, October 27. “'Princess Elizabeth, whose baby is expected in three weeks, has been eating the same kind of food as thousands of expectant mothers have been getting from their local clinics for the last six months,” says the “Daily Mail.” “Ah official at Buckingham Palace said that the Princess’s wish was to have the same ration. as any other woman in Britain. “Princess Elizabeth gets seven pints of milk a week, one bottle of concentrated orange juice a week, and a bottle of cod liver oil every six weeks. She also takes vitamin pills, and her meat ration is half as much again as an ordinary citizen’s, or the same’as every other expectant mother’s. “The Princess gets more than the ordinary allowance of eggs, because the Palace hens provide her with ample supplies. .. ' “The Princess follows a strict routine not only in diet but also in daily life. She riges at normal hours, but retires early. Although she is still entertaining personal friends and is being entertained by them, she has cancelled all evening appointments. She goes for walks in the Palace grounds.”
