The royals - Kitty Kelley [285]
“She came to our first sitting in a tiara and with jewels galore. She expected me to paint her as the frilly and frothy lady she is. But I told her I wanted her in a plain, simple dress so I could dwell on her sweet face. She went and changed. When she came back, she said, ‘This is the dress I do housework in.’ ”

Re: Queen’s attitude toward student unrest:
“She visited Warwick University in June 1970 during a student demonstration,” recalled Lilla Pennant (April 25, 1995). The Queen arrived for a luncheon while students were sitting-in in the chancellor’s office. The Queen had been warned about violence, but she was unconcerned…. She pushed plainclothes police aside, vetoed the seating that had been arranged for her, and placed herself next to four students she could talk to. Her bodyguards cowered in the background, but she was totally unafraid. She was bright and alert and interested. Vietnam was discussed, but the big issue among most of us was the “Free Mandela” movement.

Re: Engagement of Princess Anne to Mark Phillips:
The art director of a London advertising agency recalled having to scrap a year-long project on army officer recruitment because of Palace sensitivity. The ad campaign was scheduled to run the day after the Queen announced her daughter’s engagement to Captain Phillips. One of the photographs featured showed several officers standing next to a fleet of tanks. It wasn’t the photo that caused concern; it was the headline that went with it: “One Day, My Boy, All This Could Be Yours.”
