"On the 21st of April, 1926, a great joy came into the Royal Family with the birth of a daughter to the Duke and Duchess of York. She was named Elizabeth Alexandra Mary, but His Majesty (George V) when he heard what she was to be called, said laughingly: “She will soon be Betty; no little girl can keep up the dignity of Elizabeth,” and “Betty” she became.

"According to the account written in the 1920s by an American journalist, Mabel Potter Daggett, George and Missy’s Malta romance actually went as far as to a series of kisses, the most important supposedly occurring on the occasion of Missy’s 14th birthday party. She was still ‘‘a flat little girl with golden hair hanging down her back.” But for the party, she’d graduated into her first bustle and hung a string of pink coral around her neck. Catching sight of Missy alone in a San Antonio gallery, George is supposed to have said, “I say, Missy, my word but you’re pretty,” then “caught her in his arms and kissed her.” There were more kisses to follow,” continued Mrs. Daggett, “for it was first love that had occurred to both.”

“I saw Princess Catherine's post within less than an hour of posting, I was so happy to see the post. And most of to see that she didn't lose her hair! She has the most beautiful thick hair!
