YORKSHIRE STORY
TOLD TO PRESS CLUB PRINCESS MARY’S FURNITURE A “reight gooid Yorksher lad,” the Earl of Harewood kept the London Press Club in continuous laughter when he accepted its hospitality at a Yorkshire Night dinner recently.
Lord Hare-wood brought a message from the Princess Royal. It was “Tell them not to bother me any more.” (Laughter).
“That,” Ire explained, “arose in this way. For eight years we lived at Goldsborough, and whenever Princess Mary came to London, even if only for a few hours, a report appeared in the stating that during her absence her sitting room was being done up in a new style of blue that she was spending her time in London in choosing blue paper. Gentlemen, her sitting room at Goldsborough was panelled oak.” (Laughter).
