In 1930, Lady Dorothy Mills left for a 4 mth expedition thro' #Venezuela Of her 1932 book The Country of the Orinoco @thetimes said it was like 'lifting a curtain on a lost world'. Now my bk about her, No Country for a Woman is #47 in top S. American biogs #History #travel #women
Interesting that the Yorkshire-born #DuchessofKent was a descendant of Oliver Cromwell (on her father's side). Her future mother-in-law Princess Marina initially opposed her marriage to Edward the duke: maybe she imagined another Civil War ahead! #Royals #Stuarts
It is with deep sorrow that Buckingham Palace announces the death of Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Kent. The King and Queen and all Members of The Royal Family join The Duke of Kent, his children and grandchildren in mourning their loss.
Disliking the limelight, in later life the Duchess of Kent worked incognito as a music teacher in state schools. #RoyalFamily

A woman of many parts. Love this pic of Lady Dorothy Mills, explorer & writer, in May 1925 on return from travelling thro' the Middle East. The dress! The shoes! The fag! Not bad after weeks in the desert & being chased by bandits. More in my bk @TheHistoryPress #History #travel
On 3 Sept 1939 war began. That eve, having left Bamoral days earlier, George VI made a broadcast asking his people to 'stand firm & united at this time of trial'. Princesses Eliz & Marg were left at Birkhall. More: #PRINCESS The Early Life of QEII #Royals #RoyalFamily #History
As Lady Dorothy Walpole she followed the fitness trend of the early 1900s: 'Plain women would no longer be plain if they had poise.' As Lady Dorothy Mills she embraced independence in marriage & became a famed explorer. More: No Country for a Woman @TheHistoryPress #travel #women
Of the countries Lady Dorothy Mills explored in the 1920s/30s, some remain troubled. In Haiti (1924), the 1st black republic, she loved its optimism but knew many thought USA hadn't done enough to help the economy. Her pic of leaders here. My bk @TheHistoryPress #women #History
Always good to see this view, a great juxtaposition of old and modern. #London #RiverThames
On the tragic death of his brother the Duke of Kent, George VI told a friend, 'I have lost him & all those qualities that were apparent in everything he did.....I shall miss him terribly in so many ways.' My bk #PRINCESS The Early Life of QEII #Royals #RoyalFamily #History

Anyone lost a budgie in Chiswick? I came home (2.10pm) to find a little guy sheltering in my outside porch. Very pale/white with a blue flash. Ringed. Sadly, he took off for Acton Green Common before I could get him inside. Please repost in hopes of reuniting him w/ his people
Part of young Princess Elizabeth's summers were often spent in ancient @GlamisCastle whose mysteries her maternal grandmother wrote about and which thrilled the princess & her cousin Margaret (later Rhodes). My book #PRINCESS The Early Life of QEII #Royals #RoyalFamily #History

#OnThisDay in 1485, Richard III was killed at the Battle of Bosworth by Henry Tudor’s forces, ending the Wars of the Roses and the Plantagenet line. Henry became Henry VII, founding the Tudor dynasty. Richard III was the last king to die in battle. historic-uk.com/HistoryMagazin…
First visit to the @britishlibrary since the cyber attack. Although there are still limitations, the reading room staff were very helpful & generally brilliant. What a place. #History #research #writerslife
First visit @CharlecoteNT Warwickshire, home to the Lucy family (who still live in part of it) for 900 yrs. Visited by Eliz I on her 1572 royal progress. Also where #Shakespeare who lived up the road, is said to have been caught poaching. #History #Tudor #Stuart #Royals
Interesting visit @CharlecoteNT Warwickshire. It's been in the Lucy family (who still live in part of it) since 12th cent. #Shakespeare lived up the road & local myth says he got caught poaching deer. Queen Eliz I visited in 1572. #History #Tudor #Royals
'We are v delighted & proud to have a little girl as well as a boy....[She] is quite unlike Charles, who appears fascinated by her & treats her w/great care & affection - so far!' Princess Eliz to a friend after the birth of #PrincessAnne #OTD 1950. My bk 'Princess' #RoyalFamily
