King George VI and Queen Elizabeth (nee Bowes Lyon)

Thank you for the photographs!

These photos of a young HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother are fascinating. The resemblance between she and her great grand-daughter, Princess Eugenie, is striking.

There definitely is a resemblance, however I missin Beatrice the inner light, that seems to shine from this girl´s eyes...

I'm just finishing the Vickers book on Cookie.  Has anyone else read it?  I would love to know what everyone else made of it. 

I thought that it was the prefect book for bedtime - I could only manage a couple of pages before succumbing to slumber, so it has taken me ages to read it!

I read it some time ago... yes..it's a BIG book.. I think the type size could be a bit larger..but it's a very good book, some facts were new for me, and it was my first "complete" biography

Just read this article today. Apparently this is the "other woman" in the Queen Mother and George VI's marriage:

What a touching story. King George was truly a gentle and lovely man. Britain was lucky to have he and his wife as their sovereigns.

On the heels of an authorized biography of HM the Queen Mother, the Daily Mail has published a very interesting article based on a private letter written in her own hand to the Regent of Yugoslavia, Prince Paul Karageorgvic.
