Princess Mary, her peculiarly English characteristics of love of sport and an out-door life, and, above all, her splendid and almost unrecognised service for her country in the Great War, deserve to be far more widely known than has hitherto been the case. In endeavouring to convey something more than a general impression of the young Princess slife, which up to now has been so little known or appreciated, my task has been a delightful one, but one that could not have been accomplished without the generous help which has been accorded to me by various members of the Royal Household.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This engaging biography follows the life of Princess Mary, the beloved daughter of King George V and Queen Mary. From her royal birth at York Cottage to her coming of age and influential war work, this book chronicles the remarkable life of a woman whose English upbringing and values defined her service to her country. Despite her royal title, Princess Mary's story is one of relatability and simplicity. She was a skilled horsewoman, an avid outdoorswoman, and a devoted supporter of the arts and social causes. Her charitable work during World War I, culminating in her role as a VAD nurse, showcased her unwavering commitment to her people. Her journey from childhood to adulthood provides a unique glimpse into the life of the British monarchy and the evolution of the royal family in the twentieth century.
