Boyhood, Part 2 to the Life & Works of
Prince Edward, Duke of Kent
"Although at Kew the Princes passed out of the direct control of their mother, her rules and regulations had still to be obeyed. The children of King George and Queen Charlotte lived their lives to a code of rules. Every minute of the day was arranged for them, and although their routine was so simple and quiet this constant supervision turned them into strangely mature little men before they were ten." David Duff then proceeded to give an example of the rules their mother set out for what they should have for meals. Breakfast: "Simple milk or a basin two thirds of milk and one of tea" with "dry toast." Dinner: Before five: "Soup if they choose it, when not very strong or heavy, any plain meat without fat, clear gravy and greens. Fish when they please but without butter ..." For desert: "The fruit of a tart without the crust."6
