As a young Princess, she went to war just like everyone else - I found this pic:
Learned how to turn wrenches servicing engines in the Territorials.
That was a whole different generation from what we're living with these days...
They don’t make people like her anymore.
It must have come from living through the war, and the aftermath.
I keep forgetting how pretty she was. She is like Deborah Kerr without the red hair. But this would be the Kerr of “The Sundowners,” where she played without the make-up.
