I daresay we had far more pleasure from it than she didRhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136959581834392797.post-38935501526187910552012-04-16T09:24:21.775+02:002012-04-16T09:24:21.775+02:00Canon Bill Girard Writes:-

I was working at Sakubva at the time and I clearly recall the arrival of the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret at the Moffat Hall. The break-up of Princess Margret's relationship with Group Captain Townsend had been announced before she left the UK so she was hardly in a 'settled frame of mind.' Her 'enforced rest' at Leopard Rock Hotel was allegedly because of a heavy cold but it was said she was being 'confined to barracks' for being fractious !<br /> <br />I wonder if anyone else has memories of that visit. And are Delyse Levy and Alan McGregor (the children who presented the doll for Princess Anne, still in the land of the living. The same might be said of the doll !Rhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136959581834392797.post-32127165242437828722012-04-16T09:23:36.573+02:002012-04-16T09:23:36.573+02:00Christopher Hudson (RhAF) Writes:-

Margaret was mooning over Townsend at the time & generally in a bad mood. One evening whilst they were staying in Salisbury. No. 3 SSU happened to have a night flying exercise, in Harvards. The route took over us Government House. All Hell broke loose. We were disturbing the Princess and had to clear the area immediately. Funny the things that stick in your mind for years ..........Rhodesia Rememberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.com
