George V Quotes

“At 3 p.m. on Christmas Eve George took the children to the coach house, where long tables covered with white tablecloths groaned with joints of beef. The room stank of raw meat. All the estate workers – about 300 people – waited outside, and each family received a joint: George calculated that one-and-a-half tons of beef were distributed among the 1,420 people living on the estate.45”
