2 PRINCESSES AS EVACUEES

SOMEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY WILL BE THE ADDRESS OF PRINCESS ELIZABETH AND PRINCESS MARGARET UNTIL THE END OF THE WAR.

The King and Queen are setting an example to other parents by sacrificing their natural wishes for their children's company and preferring that the Princesses should remain where they can con- tinue their education as quietly and safely as possible.

When the Queen visited the Princesses Scotland last month she gave them their first news of the struggle in which Britain is engaged.
