This ignored the fact that May was engaged to George's elder brother Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence in 1891. He died of influenza in January 1892, a few weeks before their wedding and she married George a year and a half later. It's too important a detail of May's early life to bypass.

The father of my best friend growing up in Pennsylvania was among those American soldiers stationed in London after D-Day. They would later also be deployed to France. One day he went into a London bookstore and buried his nose in a book and completely oblivious to anything going on about him. It was the British custom that when a member of the Royal family entered a business, the commoners were to leave so that the store employees could devote their attention to the Royal. He was so absorbed in his book that he was completely unaware of anything about him. Suddenly he put the book back on the shelf and turned around to leave only to find himself looking in the face of Queen Mary, then the Queen Mother, and she in turn looking him straight in the eyes. He merely said, “Good morning.” Queen Mary smiled and replied, “Good morning.” He then promptly left. He relished that he had seen the person known originally as Maria von Teck.

She's almost forgotten nowadays, which is a huge shame! I only discovered her after watching early documentaries about our recently departed Queen as I'd seen her face in a lot them but wondered who she was...what I've learned is that without Mary of Teck, there would have been no where near the amount of public love and support for Queen Elizabeth II - they share so many similar traits (and also looks in my opinion), both put serving the public before their own personal matters and it would appear that Mary is almost single-handedly responsible for the success of the modern Royal Family. She survived 6 Monarchs, 2 World Wars, the death of her fiancé, the death of her husband, the death of 3 of her children also and the shame of her first born abdicating the Throne, all before sadly dying a few weeks before the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II, who she'd quite clearly mentored from a young age but lived on in her spirit - a remarkable woman/Queen!

My grandmother lived through the reigns of six monarchs, counting Edward VIII, and Queen Mary was always her yardstick for behaviour and service before self, she also believed the females were the strength of the monarchy. The photo that will always, stick in my mind was of the three Queens in mourning attire standing together after George VI died. I was six years old and it was the front page photo of our New Zealand major newspapers. The photo still has the same effect today.

Nice bit of trivia: many of the Queen’s Jewels were acquired by Queen Mary, worn by Queen Mother Elizabeth, and still worn by HM Elizabeth R II. Most notable being the Cullinan Diamond recut into smaller stones, the “smaller” 9 being affectionately called Grandma’s Chips. The largest, the Star of Africa, is the centrepiece of the Royal Sceptre. Queen Mary sewed the jewellery boxes for many Parures herself.

The Hindu curse is placed on the men who will wear the diamond: “He who owns this diamond will own the world, but will also know all its misfortunes. Only God, or a woman, can wear it with impunity."

Nowhere does it mention that Queen Mary spoke English with a strong German accent. The fact that Edward VIII apparently spoke German well would also indicate that she spoke German at home, at least to her eldest son. I heard an anecdote about the Queen that she was visiting the home of the narrator of the story, while at the same time her hostess was playing " Yes we have no bananas " on the gramophone. The Queen must have felt it was a catchy tune because she is said to have left her hostess humming " YES vee heff no bananas " in her German accent. It's little facts like this which for me make members of the royal family seem more human and sympathetic than they are portrayed by their traditional handlers.

@@louismart Thanks for the kind comment. I agree with you that it's little touches like this which makes us realize. that they are people with ordinary foibles, and we appreciate them more. There is a parallel story to the one I quoted : apparently Queen Mary used to love being given things spontaneously and had the eccentric habit, when visiting someone's home around the Sandringham Estate, of verbally praising some artefact or other - a vase, picture, clock, a piece of bric a brac .... whatever, nothing necessarily valuable. She would expect the owner to insist that she accept the object as a gift. On the occasion of the ' vee heff no bananas ' story, she had admired something or other in her habitual way, The owner however happened to be fond of the admired article and was slow to offer it as a gift. The result was a prolonged visit until the owner relented and offered the object of the Queen's admiration as expected. For me this in no way shows QM in a bad light, but underlines both that Royalty is at the same time like us, and not like the rest of us.

@@crustyoldfart In the recordings I have heard, there is no trace of a German accent. German was in fact a foreign language to her, although one she spoke with competence. I refer you to the official biography by James Pope-Hennessy which goes into this issue in some detail.

@@markfalcoff1743 I'm somewhat surprised by your claim that German was for her a foreign language. My comment to the contrary is based on anecdotal evidence which may be incorrect, as anecdotes often are. There are however a couple of facts which may cast doubt on the official biography to which you refer. Firstly it is well known that the British Royal family have strong German antecedents. The late Prince Phillip spoke fluent German and good French. As I said in a previous comment Edward VIII, Queen Marry's eldest son was fluent in German which, if he did not hear it at home is rather remarkable. I believe Lord Louis Mountbatten was also fluent in German. You mention that Pope-Hennessy produced an official biography. I am unfamiliar with the work, and am wondering when it was published and why. I confess to having my suspicions raised when it is stated to be an official [ that is authorized ] biography. George V was at great pains to downplay the German origins of his family, no doubt because at the time his kingdom was waging a bitterly fought war against Germany. Hence the decision to change the royal name from Saxe-Coburg-Gotha to Windsor, and the Battenburgs to change theirs to Mountbatten for the same reason. It might be reasonably assumed that an official biography would downplay it if Queen Mary still had a German accent when speaking English. I'm not claiming any special knowledge here, I'm just speculating based on the balance of probability, and a knowledge of the deep prejudices current one hundred years ago.

Queen Mary most definitely did not have a German accent. Why would she? She was born in Kensington Palace, her mother was English and most people around her were English. People I have known who knew her said that she had an English accent. She didn't speak German very well. If you want proof just listen to the recording of her speaking that is available on KZfaq. No German accent. It's one of the inaccurate stories that have become accepted as true by repetition.

All of the Royal family has always been from the same bloodline due to the fact that they had to marry a future Queen who was a virginal aristocrat. Even Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip were cousins. The only reason that Prince Charles married Diana Spencer instead of Camilla is because Camilla was a commoner and had previous boyfriends, whereas Diana Spencer was a virginal aristocrat. It’s only the younger generation of Royals like Prince William and Prince Harry that have not followed tradition and have married commoners to get away from the bloodline.
