Description

Little Princesses: A Royal Childhood Revealed Marion Crawford's memoir tells the story of her time as governess to the children of the Duke and Duchess of York, an experience that would shape the future of the British monarchy. Beginning in the early 1930s at a quiet family home in London, Crawfie recounts how she brought up the princesses, exposing them to everyday life amidst the grandeur of royal protocol. As the years passed, Crawfie's influence on the young royals grew, and she played a significant role in their upbringing. However, her candid account of their lives was met with hostility from some members of the royal family, including the Queen Mother, who had been a close friend until Crawfie published her memoir. First published in 1950, Crawfie's story offers a unique insight into the early years of the British monarchy, revealing the challenges and triumphs faced by those closest to the throne.
