WALES HOLDS KEY TO FUTURE OF QUEEN MARY AND CROWN | Prince Gives Her Little Help, Now in Keeping Mon- | [ archy Alive. ‘ Death of King Would Give Her Chance to Create Distinct Place. This is the last of a series of 15 cles presenting the authentic b hy of the Queen of England.

MARSDON. ‘The future of Queen Mary forms an interesting subject for speculation. | Despite the great anxieties she has been through during the last year, the Queen has extremely good health and it is the ardent hope of her subjects that she may live many more years, Tt is improbable King George will re- cover his normal health sufficiently to resume his full duties as monarch. But he may live for years, in which case the immediate future of Queen Mary would be that she would continue to act as she is at present unofficially, as Queen Regent, performing all those duties of the monarch which he feels unable to perform himself, and helped, of course, by the Prince of Wales. Queen Knows Possibilities. But no one knows better than Queen Mary that if the present situation con- tinues for any length of time it would not be for the good of the monarchy. A monarch who is never seen, who never performs any of those spectac- ular functions which appeal strongly to the imagination of his people. who be- comes merely a name to the mass of his subjects, must inevitably be to a great extent forgotten. And when that | happens people begin to think they may be able to get along without a king. It is certain Queen Mary will strive to prevent any such eventuality. Ob- viously she cannot herself perform all the spectacular duties of the monarch; she cannot review troops or present medals to them, attend a naval review or hold levees.

Queen Mary in future will have to make the beet of a difficult situa- tion and induce the Prince of Wales, ;s ‘(Br as she Is able, to perform such uties. For the rest her majesty will as often as she can get away from Sand- | ringham and be in residence at Buck- ingham Palace, and she will officiate at as many public functions as possible. | of course, continue to | And she will, hold the courts, as last year.

Prince Objects to Plan. | 1t the Queen could have her way with her eldest son she would have | him go into residence at Buckingham Palace and maintain the court there, in place of his father. But that is the last thing the prince could wish to do. Apart from his personal dislike of court ceremonial, and his wish to enjoy the freedom his present life gives him as long as possible, the prince has a real distaste of anything that would suggest he was attempting to step into ll'llls father's shoes while King George ves. Queen Mary's future, therefore, will, as long as the King's health remains what it is, be concerned with keeping alive the idea of monarchy in the minds of the King's subjects, in the way she thinks best, without receiving much help from the Prince of Wales. But in the event of the King’s death in the early future the position of Queen Mary would become quite differ- ent. The Prince of Wales, when he became monarch, could no longer avoid fulfilling his duties as such and taking up his residence at Buckingham Palace. As a Bachelor King. As a bachelor the prince would find it next to impossible to conduct the court without the help of his mother. In the mere matter of the supervision of the big servant staff and the general house- keeping arrangements the Prince could not possibly depend entirely on a house- keeper. . The presence of his mother at the palace could be a necessity to him, and, apart from the housekeeping arrange- ments, without the Queen's presencc at court, the prince could not possibly ful- fill_his social obligations as monarch. Queen Mary still would remain very much the Queen, and the prince as monarch would in many of the affairs of monarchy remain much under her influence and guidance. the position of Queen Mary as long as her son remained unmarried. As far, therefore, as one can look into the future of the remarkable woman Wanted Houses Let us rent that vacant property for you.
