MANY ENGAGEMENTS

PRINCESS ELIZABETH

[N.Z.I’.A. Special Correspondent.] LONDON, May 30. One of the most photographed members of the Royal Family at the moment is Princess Elizabeth, who is attending 'different functions in London each day. The Princess has rapidly become accustomed to appearing and speaking in public, and there have been many charming photographs of her in the daily newspapers. This week the Princess presided at the annual meeting of the National Societv for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, of which she is president, and also" accompanied the King and Queen and Princess Margaret on an informal visit to the Overseas League. There she talked with representatives of the Victory Parade contingents, including the New Zealanders. The Princess often wears pale blue, which suits her admirably, and she favours the latest style of flowered hats. She is frequently seen at dances in the evenings, many of which are private. The most recent evening function she attended was the annual dinner dance of the Navy League Sea Cadets Corps. She wore a long dress of black net with a string of pearls. She was accompanied by Lord Burgher'sh, Captain Humphreys, Wing Commander Peter Townsend, and Mr. Bonham-Carter. In a different room of the same hotel the King was dining out privately for the first time since the end of the war.

Lord Burghersh, who is the eldest son of the Earl, of Westmorland, served in the war as a lieutenant in the Royal Horse Guards. He is 22 years of age.
