In case of anything happening to me: Be very careful not to ridicule your children or laugh at them. Always try & talk very quietly to children. Never shout or frighten them, as otherwise you lose their delightful trust in you. Remember how your father, by shouting at you, & making you feel uncomfortable, lost all your real affection. None of his sons are his friends, because he is not understanding & helpful to them.

Don’t get frightened sleeping all alone darling, in that enormous bed.

An extract from a letter written by him when they had to spend the weekend apart from each other. He went to Balmoral for stalking while she remained at Glamis. They were both looking forward to be reunited that coming Monday.

As the cortège wound slowly along the Queen whispered in a broken voice, ‘Here he is’ and I knew that her dry eyes were seeing beyond the coffin a little boy in a sailor suit. She was past weeping, wrapped in the ineffable solitude of grief. I couldn’t speak to comfort her. My tears choked me. The words I wanted to say, would not come. We held each other’s hand in silence.” - Lady Airlie

On 15 February King George VI was buried with the solemn pomp and ceremony of state. Among the millions who mourned his passing was Queen Mary, alone in her sitting room at Marlborough House with Lady Airlie, looking out into the mist and gloom. - Denis Judd: George VI (via ilovetheroyals1)
