KING RECOVERING WELL: MAY TOUR DOMINIONS IN 1950
(10 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 21. The doctors have sanctioned plans to give His Majesty full scope for increasing his activities as part of a new phase of his convalescence, says the Daily Mail. His Majesty, from Easter, will spend about six weeks at Windsor. He will drive out in the grounds, where he can ; travel 10 miles without leaving his private estate, and will also walk in the gardens. The doctors also hope His Majesty will be able to do some horse riding. Members of the Royal Household who returned recently from Sandringham said that His Majesty is still making remarkably good progress. The Daily Mail adds that the belief is now gaining ground in Court circles that the Royal tour to New Zealand and Australia will take place early in 1950. but on a restricted scale. Their Majesties at Easter will entertain a family party at Windsor, including Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, who are expected to stay some time there. The King, who is much improved in health, and the Queen will return to Buckingham Palace on Thursday from Sandringham, their country residence in Norfolk. The stay has helped the King considerably in his recovery from his illness, it was officially announced. The King will hold the first investiture of the year at Buckingham Palace on March 1.
