When her two daughters, Princess Arthur of Connaught and Lady Maud Carnegie, were schoolgirls they both had to study French with a French governess, even in the holidays. As this lady lived in the village the royal car conveyed her to and from

Mar Lodge. Like all our Royal Family, the Princess Royal and her daughters are kindness itself, and have that wonderful gift for remembering people. At Christmas, and always on her birthday, this same governess receives flowers and presents from her royal pupils.
