Royal Precedence
Guests of the King a.t tho Afternoon Deceptions at the Palnco ihad their first opportunity of seeing how King Edward has decided the question . of precedence for members of his familv. Queen Mary was not present, but, like tho King, she is in any case above precedence. First in what is called “joint precedence”—that of husband and wife together—come the Duke and Duchess oi York, tho Duko and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke and Duchess of Kent, and then the Princess Royal and Lord Harcwood. If the Royal ladies attended receptions without their husbands the rule of separate precedence would operate, and the Princess Royal would take her place before tho Duchess of York. The little Princesses and Princo Edward will not bo given precedence while they are minors.
