HRH PRINCESS ELIZABETH


The appointment of Princess Elizabeth to the Colonelcy of the Grenadier Guards solves a difficulty, of a somewhat delicate nature, and satisfies everyone. Precedents are to be easily and happily found in the posts occupied by Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary; Queen Victoria was able to allude to a Prussian Cavalry Unit as ‘My Regiment’. One dares to hope that if peace shall ever come, her great granddaughter may emulate a bold example and appear on parade in a scarlet habit crossed by the Ribbon of the Garter with a plumed hat.
