Notes

In the presence of Queen Mary, Dr. Walter Button told an audience in University College of London University that Scots would drink the health of their future monarch with "far greater gusto" if he were known as the "Prince of Scotland and Wales." The Doctor said that the eldest son of the Kings of Scotland had been known as the Prince of Scotland since 1400, the title being assumed by right of birth, whereas the title of Prince of Wales was specially created (1301). The Queen smiled appreciatively.

Queen Alexandra, the Queen Mother, was reported to be failing in health. It was stated that Londoners are unlikely to see Her Majesty, who is 79 years old, ride again through the streets of London on Rose Day, a day upon which roses are sold in her name for charity.

During the present year, the following monarchs will officially visit King George and Queen Mary: King and Queen of Rumania, King and Queen of Italy, King and Queen of Yugoslavia, Shah of Persia.
