A fantastic find, Blog Real! The Queen Consort and the parasol go together with elegance.

I was just looking at the list of her brothers and sisters; she was the 9th of 10 children. However, she never got to know her eldest sister as The Hon. Violet died aged 11 in 1893; so 7 years prior to her birth. By late 1961 she had only one sibling left, her sister lady Rose who died in 1967. So, not only was she widowed for 50 years; the last 35 years of her life, she had no siblings left either.

Is that part of the famous Hartnell white wardrobe?

What a gorgeous picture of the Queen Mum. She very well could have stepped right off the set of Downton Abbey. Very elegant!

Yes, that is part of the famous Hartnell white wardrobe.

There's a rather wonderful YT channel called Letters Live which contains some real gems. This is Olivia Coleman reading a letter from QE to QM who I presume would have been at Badminton House in Gloucestershire.

The sang froid of the French chef is tres splendide. ?

The laughter when she talks about "the servants", though.

She was probably a teenager at the time.

Dame Frances Campbell-Preston, Lady-in-waiting

https://airmail.news/issues/2022-12-24/dame-frances-campbell-preston

She was a long-time lady in waiting to the Queen Mother, came from a renowned and accomplished family, endured tragedy, enjoyed life, and was apparently a great wit until she died at 104. What a life!

Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy, Princess Diana's maternal grandmother, was also the Queen Mother's lady-in-waiting.

Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy, Princess Diana's maternal grandmother, was also the Queen Mother's lady-in-waiting.

Yes and one of Diana’s great-aunts, Lady Lavinia Emily Spencer was an extra lady-in-waiting to QEQM and Lady Margaret Spencer was also a close friend of QEQM

Jimmy Carter and what did or didn't happen with the Queen Mother: https://wapo.st/3EuJiD7

(Perhaps it was a combination of the unexpected and the QM simply thought he was trying to kiss her on the mouth because she was so shocked...)

Ruth Roche, Baroness Fermoy, Princess Diana's maternal grandmother, was also the Queen Mother's lady-in-waiting.

For many years Lady Fermoy was always in the background at the Queen Mothers birthdays at Clarence house.
