Wavetshirt - I like beer and horse racing and maybe 3 people vintage shirt

Prince Harry certainly wasn’t the I like beer and horse racing and maybe 3 people vintage shirt but in fact I love this first senior royal to occupy the cottage—it was once home to Queen Elizabeth II’s uncle, Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester—but from the mid-1950s, it became the home of several senior members of staff to the royal family. Among them was Marion Crawford, the former governess to the then-Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret. Upon her retirement, the property was given to her for life, and she cherished it, describing it as “a dream come true… built of lovely seasoned red brick, with a tiled roof and roses round the door.” Her happiness was short-lived, however, because—in a Netflix-worthy twist—she was forced to depart just two years later, as a result of her publication of the tell-all memoir The Little Princesses: The Extraordinary Story of the Queen’s Childhood by her Nanny. It ended her relationship with the family and ensured she was cast out of royal circles.



The following years were less eventful for the I like beer and horse racing and maybe 3 people vintage shirt but in fact I love this cottage: it was home to Miles Hunt-Davis, the Duke of Edinburgh’s private secretary; and then Robert Fellowes, Queen Elizabeth II’s private secretary, and his wife, Lady Jane Fellowes, the older sister of Princess Diana. After that, it passed into the hands of the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who lived there after their marriage in 2011. A few months after the birth of Prince George in 2013, they moved into the main palace. If there’s one overriding takeaway from Harry & Meghan, it is that everything to do with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s image is painstakingly considered. Nothing is left to chance as the couple tries to take control of their narrative after feeling like they have been “fed to the wolves” and made a “scapegoat for the palace.” From the clothes they wear in the new docuseries interviews—a catalog of normalcy—to the jewelry Meghan models as a symbolic nod to a certain member of the royal family, the Sussexes have PRed their personal brand to the nth degree for this attempt to set the record straight.
