Once upon a time, in 1930s England, there were two little princesses named Elizabeth and Margaret Rose. Their father was the Duke of York, the second son of King George V, and their Uncle David was the future King of England.We all know how the fairy tale ended: When King George died, "Uncle David" became King Edward VIII---who abdicated less than a year later to marry the scandalous Wallis Simpson. Suddenly the little princesses' father was King. The family moved to Buckingham Palace, and ten-year-old Princess Elizabeth became the heir to the crown she would ultimately wear for over fifty years.The Little Princesses shows us how it all began. In the early thirties, the Duke and Duchess of York were looking for someone to educate their daughters, Elizabeth and Margaret, then five- and two-years-old. They already had a nanny---a family retainer who had looked after their mother when she was a child---but it was time to add someone younger and livelier to the household.Enter Marion Crawford, a twenty-four-year-old from Scotland who was promptly dubbed "Crawfie" by the young Elizabeth and who would stay with the family for sixteen years. 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," while attempting to show them a bit of the ordinary world of underground trains, Girl Guides, and swimming lessons.The Little Princesses was first published in 1950 to a furor we cannot imagine today. It has been called the original "nanny diaries" because it was the first account of life with the Royals ever published. Although hers was a touching account of the childhood of the Queen and Princess Margaret, Crawfie was demonized by the press. The Queen Mother, who had been a great friend and who had, Crawfie maintained, given her permission to write the account, never spoke to her again.Reading The Little Princesses now, with a poignant new introduction by BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, offers fascinating insights into the changing lives and times of Britains royal family.

Having heard of this book on several occasions, I finally decided to grab it (Kindle version) and have a read. Written by one of the nannies to Queen Elizabeth II, at the time, Princess Elizabeth, one is taken behind the palace gates and walls beginning in another time, under King George, the current Queen’s grandfather. Her parents were second, and highly unlikely to become anything more than second tier royals. Their young family was typical (for upper crust) and the young princess and her sister were destined for far simpler lives.You’ll follow the story of how Marian “Crawfie” Crawford joined their household and ended up taking a ride throughout history. And arguably, helping shape and from the future monarch for her important role in world history. Little did that young girl know what lie ahead...From her perspective you’ll be there through the princesses’ early years, life at 145 Piccadilly, the death of King George, the abdication of King Edward, and the assertion of her father into the highest role in the land at the dawn of a very frightening and dangerous age. From staying (somewhat) safe at Windsor through the marriage of the young princess Elizabeth to Prince Phillip, Crawfie was right there and shares it all.This is a story told with love and admiration for “our family.” Crawfies’s insights are tender, caring, filled with love, and admiration for the family she so faithfully served. At times it’s overly saccharine, with an excess of blind faith and admiration. But it also shows how much this young woman felt about the family she served. And if she is to be believed, how much she was entrusted, respected, needed, and included with this family.Much to her detriment. It’s interesting to see and learn how much this young and aging woman gave to this family and while they needed her, how much they expected her to give up in duty to them. One could argue they themselves gave up so much to their nation, so in turn, expecting her to give up was an honor and duty. Personal opinion and interpretation with rule the outcome of your read.This story ends in the year or so following Queen Elizabeth’s marriage to Prince Phillip. At that time Crawfiew and her husband were still very much a respected part of the fold... but that would change. In contributing to an article and the eventual writing of this book would change this woman’s relationship with the royal family forever. It is said they never spoke to her again. So reading this book is not just about the history of this young and historic family, but a precursor to how life with the royals can work out. I’d suggest doing a little side research to understand.I recommend this book as a great insight. If you’re a fan of the royals and/or admire the Queen, this is a must-read. A place to learn about the foundations of a woman who has given her life to her nation.
