Harry Potter and the deathly train doors! 'Hogwarts Express' in health and safety crisis over bid to ban... Crawford's writing career came to a crashing halt in 1955 when the column to which her name was attached was exposed as a fraud. It carried details of a Trooping the Colour ceremony and the Ascot races, when in fact they had been cancelled that year because of a national railway strike. As the stories were written in advance, it was too late to stop their publication.

Crawfie’s story began with a Royal approach out of the blue. The 22-year-old had a summer holiday job with Lady Rose Leveson-Gower, whose husband was Admiral at Edinburgh’s Rosyth shipyard. Lady Rose’s sister was the Duchess of York (later Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother) who had spotted the great rapport Marion had with children and asked her to teach her own two daughters.While her story ended sadly, it seems there are signs that the royal tanker might be turning round. The material released to mark the Queen’s 94th birthday in April included a few seconds of film in which Crawfie and the princesses are dancing the Lambeth Walk.

Buthlay boasted of it in his business transactions, and had her ask the royal family to change their bank account to Drummonds, the bank for which he worked.

The question Oscar Pistorius REFUSED to answer: Private conversation between Reeva Steenkamp's late father and Paralympian killer can finally be revealed... as he's freed after 10 years The revelations - condemned by many as sensationalist - were so damaging for the royals' public image that many book shops and supermarkets banned it, totally unaware that Diana was the main source behind the work. Myleene Klass shares a blended family tribute to herfiancé as she thanks him for 'being the embarrassing dad who cheers the loudest for my children' George Buthlay, no doubt sensing money to be made, thought his wife should write the pieces herself and badgered her to ask permission from the Queen, who refused.The royal household was almost obsessively secretive. For members of the Royal Household and their servants, confidentiality was not just expected—it was a kind of unwritten law. As the London Review of Books noted in a review of Crawford’s book, The Little Princesses, “Respect and respectability are what counts.” The public knew little of what happened in the palaces where Lilibet and Margaret grew up, and their mother, now queen, wanted to keep it that way.
