     lnge. There is no ilrcplace; in- 
     
     stead, heated air rises from con- 
     
     cea'led vents in the floor. In the 
     
     centre of the room iitands a mas- 
     
     sive, highly polished oak (lining 
     
     table around which lilgli-backed 
     
     chairs with plain. wooden seats. 
     
     are arranged. One chair has arms 
     
     and is used by the King. It was 
     
     in this room that the Duke of 
     
     Windsor dined for the last time 
     
     before leaving for the Continent. 
     
    

    
     The library. its shelves filled 
     
     with rare old books. is considered 
     
     to be one or the most attractive 
     
     roonia in the house. It is built to 
     
     an unusual. octagonal plan. The 
     
     hall is quite narrow and is airst- 
     
     erelyltreated, but it leads to a 
     
     line old oak staircase. 
     
    

    
     It is only in the Kiiigs and 
     
     Queen's bedrooms, both on the 
     
     ground floor, that there is the 
     
     slightest hint that royalty sleeps 
     
     there. for over the uindoirs there 
     
     are brass grilles to prevent any 
     
     intrusion. 
     
    

    
     Apart lronl this there is little 
     
    
   
   
    
     protection (or the Royal Family. 
     
     There are no guards, no armed 
     
     Patrols: only :1 solitary pollc-.-ibox 
     
     and one poi'tcr's lodge guard the 
     
     approach. 
     
    

    
     The bcdrooms (ii the King and 
     
     Queen are simply but tastefully 
     
     furnished. Scattered around are

     Tire King and Queen have both 
     
     supervised alterations to the 
     
     house. Stall quarters are bright 
     
     and airy. and a new wing was

     The ancestry of Princess Eliza- 
     
     beth. heir presumptive to the 
     
     British throne, is well known to 
     
     all people in the Commonwealth 
     
     and the world. The-family tree of 
     
     her husband. Prince Philip. Dulce 
     
     of Edinburgh. however. is probably 
     
     I mystery to a great many who 
     
     only know that he started life as a 
     
     Greek Prince and. just before his 
     
     marriage, became a naturalized 
     
     British citizen.

     Philip is descended from Victoria 
     
     and Albert through the female 
     
     line and Elizabeth through the 
     
     male line. This makes them acL-
