<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hmm, not sure about that, Stuart. "In a public-house in a back street a Colonial insulted the House of Windsor, which led to words, broken beer glasses, and a general shindy ...".
I find it hard to believe that a comment along the lines of "They should never have changed the name to Windsor, bloody silly name if you ask me" would evoke such a response. More likely that it is Virginia who is being careful, not wanting to state directly
that anyone would insult the monarch. In a posting a few years back I admitted that I always assumed that the Colonial was an Australian, but he (presumably it is he) could also have come from Quebec . . .<br>

<div>I think it’s reasonable to assume that this is another wartime ref. The colonial doesn’t insult the monarchy but the “House of Windsor” – a madey-uppy name created in 1917 to try to reassure the public that the Guelphs (as VW tended to call them) were
really British.</div>

<div>And now I see on Facebook that Persephone Books has bought and made cushions from a fabric purchased at Charleston--it's called "Queen Mary" and is a Duncan Grant print.<br>

As I say, there's much more to be done. Princess Mary pops up in "Mrs. Dalloway" as a symbol of the post-war world, because she is "married to an Englishman".<br>

If Stuart wants to include VW's fiction in his<br>
research, there is a discreet and rather elegant<br>
reference to the Royal Family in chapter V of<br>
Jacob's Room:<br>
<br>
"The autumn season was in full swing. Tristan was twitching his rug up<br>
under his armpits twice a week; Isolde waved her scarf in miraculous<br>
sympathy with the conductor's baton. In all parts of the house were to<br>
be found pink faces and glittering breasts. When a Royal hand attached<br>
to an invisible body slipped out and withdrew the red and white bouquet<br>
reposing on the scarlet ledge, the Queen of England seemed a name worth<br>
dying for."<br>

We really must do more research on VW and the Royal Family.<br>
<br>
In "Street Haunting", when the narrator imagines being in Mayfair, she concludes her reverie with "watching the moonlit cat creep along Princess Mary's garden wall" (The Essays, Vol. IV, p. 486).<br>
<br>
Princess Mary and her husband Lord Lascelles did indeed live in Mayfair, in Chesterfield House -- "where the famous letters were penned" (Ward, Lock Guide to London, 1934, p. 129. It was on the corner of South Audley Street and Curzon Street, and was demolished
in 1937.<br>
