Labourite reveals George V is just Grandpa to little princess
January 3, 1931
Mr. J.H. Thomas, Labour Dominions Secretary, gave a speech tonight in South Wales, where he described spending the New Year with King George V and Queen Mary at Sandringham.
"I was an audience with the King on State matters around 6 in the evening, when the Queen entered with little Princess Elizabeth, saying: 'Would you mind? We want the Princess to wish grandpa goodnight.'"
"Thus, when his little grandchild comes, the King is no longer King," Mr. Thomas added, according to a special cable to the New York Times.
