KING'S NUMEROUS OBLIGATIONS

MARKED WIDENING OF ROYAL ACTIVITIES

(By a Special Correspondent.)

The earliest of the King's diaries after his accession must be very different in character from those which are kept by his Private Secretary, Sir Clive Wigram, to-day. Then, a visit to the provinces was in the nature of a great event; there were fewer big public functions in London to which the King and Queen went officially; and, apart from the six weeks of the London Season, life was lived much more slowly and simply than it is to-day.

The London Season has always involved a great. many functions at Buckingham Palace, and the programme so far as these are concerned has not changed a great deal. The King's Levees, the Royal Courts, and the royal garden party take place as usual, with the exception that each separate event is on a much larger scale. There are hundreds more pre-morning, afternoon, and evening. sentations at a Levee or a Court They give up a whole afternoon to be the casean Chelsea Flower Show, and another Elion used Lo instance of the way in which the to the Royal Tournament. breaking down of class barriers by they used to attend one or two the War has widened London's charity matinees, they now fit in social circle and probably two or nearly a dozen, and a Command three thousand more guests are re- muste all performance us well. celyed at the garden party at the There is always a Sunday visit to Palace.

The Little Season sees the King and Queen in London again, with charity matinees, a score of public duties, and numerous official visita to be faced before they can feel free to return to their Norfolk home for the Christmas family gathering. This lasta well into the New Year.

Until a year or two ago the King always went to Goodwood at the end of July for the famous race meeting there, but since the denth of the late Duke of Richmond and Gordon, with whom he enjoyed a personal friendshipi dating back to the days of King Edward, his visits have not been quite so regular. Instead, he and the Queen have an extra week at Cowes, where he han the opportunity of indulging in the kind of holiday he loves best of all-niling the royal yacht, the Victoria and Albert, in the Solent.
