When Queen Mary stood at a window of Marlborough House last month while the proclamation of the Accession was read from St. James’s Palace, it was the fourth time that she had watched the spectacle—King Edward VII., George V., her husband, Edward VIII., her eldest son, and now her second son. It is hardly accurate to describe Queen Elizabeth as the first Scotswoman ever to be Queen of England. Three months after his Coronation, in the year 1100, Henry I. married Matilda, daughter of King Malcolm of Scotland, and granddaughter of the “ gracious Duncan,” murdered by Macbeth; her Coronation took place on the same day.
