- Summary
- "Until the Queen and Prince Philip made their momentous decision to send the Prince of Wales and Princess Anne to boarding school, almost every English prince or princess for 500 years or more had been educated in private. The boys had tutors, and so did the girls, until the Hanoverians took to employing teaching governesses as well; and around these revolved a host of lesser functionaries, who taught modern languages (in which royalty have always excelled), music, dancing, deportment, equitation and other accomplishments. Inevitably one asks oneself, how did this old and outdated system work? This book attempts to supply an answer."--
