PRINCESSES "DOUBLE UP"
While the King and Queen and the Pl'incesses were touring Royal Naval College, Dartmouth, recently, Princess Margaret, who had wandered away from the party, came running back and explained to the Queen: "I have found a picture of Daddy," states the London "Sunday Chronicle." She led her mother to a photograph of a group cf cadets taken many years ago, which included the King.
Then, when the Princesses were about to plant two trees, the King said to them: "Go on. do your jobs. Double up, you are with the Nayy now." After the trees had been planted the King remarked, "Hope they don't fall."
On the college quarter-deck Captain Dalrymple-Hamilton, Captain of the college, drew the Queen's attention to the rafters 50 feet above them. He said it was a point of honour among the cadets to break the regulations and clamber along the rafters. When the Queen asked if the King, during his term at the college, had performed this feat, Captain Dalrymple-Hamilton replied: "I must not tell secrets."
