THE LITTLE PRINCESSES was published in 1950 to a furore we cannot imagine today. Beginning at the quiet family home in Piccadilly and ending with the birth of Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace in 1948, Crawfie tells how she brought the princesses up to be 'Royal' whilst also exposing them to the ordinary world of underground trains, buses and swimming lessons. Marion Crawford, 'Crawfie', as she was known to the Queen and Princess Margaret, became governess to the children of the Duke and Duchess of York in the early 1930s, little suspecting she was nurturing her future Queen. Now, more than ever, the Royal Family's private lives are the stuff of soap opera and it seems anyone who comes into contact with them sells their story to the magazines or to the newspapers. With a foreword by former BBC Royal Correspondent Jennie Bond, Marion reveals the royal family's life before The Crown. The touching and ground-breaking stories of the Queen and Princess Margaret's childhoods told by their nanny, Marion Crawford.
