Princess Elizabeth will bo educated with a view to possible Quecnship. says the "Sunday Chronicle." The Duchess of York wishes her to go to a girls' school and enjoy "the companionship of girls, of her own age, but after discussion between the King, Queen ftjary, the Duke of York, and members of Cabinet, it has been decided to substitute a more formal plan of education so that, like Queen Victoria, her education will be entrusted to tutors and a governess.

Princess • Elizabeth is now second in the line of succession to the Throne. The order of succession is first the Duke of York, then the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose, the Duke of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, the infant Prince Edward (son of the Duke of Kent), and the Princess Royal, Countess of Harewood, and her children. The birth of a son or daughter to the Sovereign would alter this order, of course; so would the birth of a son to the Duke and Duchess of York or the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, and in the Civil List King Edward VIII asked that provision should be' made against the contingency of his marriage.
