The Lady Magazine

In this issue of The Lady Magazine - *Marion Crawford was the governess who breathed life into the royal household in the fraught 1930s. She taught the Queen and Princess Margaret but also mentored the future monarch about how to connect with ordinary people. Read about her extraordinary story and the novel she has now inspired by one of my favourite writers, Wendy Holden. *Ciar Byrne talks to a mother who overcame terrible tragedy by helping others facing hardship, *Roderick Conway Morris admires a new exhibition about Renaissance watercolours. *Mary Novakovich has suggestions for relaxing spa breaks in Britain – plus you have a chance to win one once lockdown is lifted. *The recipes from the National Trust’s new baking bible featured in our food pages.
