Diet For Princess Same As For Any Expectant Mother

LONDON, Oct. 27 (Recd. 6 pm).— Princess Elizabeth, whose baby is expected in three weeks, has been eating the same kind of food as thousands oi expectant mothers have been getting from their local clinics for the last six months, says the ‘Daily Mail.” An official of Buckingham Palace said that the Princess’ wish was to have the same ration as any other woman in Britain. Princess Elizabeth gets seven pints of milk a week, one bottle of concentrated orange juice a week, and a bottle of cod-liver oil every six weeks. She also takes vitamin pills and her meat ration is half as much again as at* ordinary citizen’s. or the same as every other expectant mother. The Princess gets more than the ordinary allowance of eggs because the Palace hens provide her with ample supplies. The Princess follows strict routine, not only in diet, but in daily life. She rises at normal hours but retires early. Although she is still entertaining personal friends and being entertained by them, she has cancelled all evening appointments. She goes for walks in the Palace grounds.
