What I Know : Reminiscences of Five Years Personal Attendance Upon His Late Majesty King Edward the Seventh (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from What I Know: Reminiscences of Five Years Personal Attendance Upon His Late Majesty King Edward the Seventh

In the following pages Their Majesties King George the Fifth and Queen Mary are always spoken Of as The Prince and Princess Of Wales, while His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales is referred to as Prince Edward.

I have spared no pains to make this record an accurate one. SO far as has been possible every date has been verified, and in the few cases where my recollection as to the occasion is not positive, I have said so.

I fear I have made much mention of myself. This was inevitable; and at the risk Of being thought' egotistical I have related happenings which would come better from the pen Of another, if only there were another to tell them.

The drawing which forms the frontispiece I owe to the kindness of Miss Olive Snell.

I have to express my gratitude to Mr. Dornford Yates, but for whose tireless assistance these memories might never have been published.
