Princesses Scour, Polish and ( Scrub Queen Elizabeth encourages independence in her two daughters by allowing them to use the little house presented to Princess Elizabeth by the people of Wales, but the princesses have to do the housework themselves. They have regular spring cleanings with Princess Margaret Rose polishing and washing and Princess Elizabeth ironing. When new window curtains or chairs are wanted the sisters have to buy the articles themselves out of their modest pocket-money. This is revealed by Sister Catherine Black. Known as “Blackie” to all the Royal Family, Sister Black tended King George V constantly from the time of his serious illness in 1928 until his death seven years later.
