| Zusammenfassung: | "Queen Mary, the widow of George V, and grandmother of the Queen, died at Marlborough House on 24 March 1953, a few months before the Coronation. She was eighty-five years old. Unusually for a Queen consort, an official biography was commissioned. The last similar exercise was the life of the Prince Consort, commissioned by Queen Victoria. The task was entrusted to James Pope-Hennessy. Pope-Hennessy embarked on his three year quest for Queen Mary in 1955. It was to take him to many royal courts and to the lunch and tea tables of retired courtiers and ladies-in-waiting. He had access to a great number of private documents. He was shown royal residences both in England and in Europe. As he went along, he kept notes about who he met and what he saw. Pope-Hennessy had not intended the notes of his royal interviews to be published for fifty years (i.e. until 2009). He described them as follows: 'To supplement the manuscript and printed sources I kept a private and confidential file recording in considerable detail the conversations I had both with Queen Mary's immediate descendants, related German, Danish and Norwegian royalty and with surviving members of the Court of King George V and Queen Mary. None of these interviews have been published, nor could they be until a lapse of fifty years. They are strictly confidential and form, I believe, a not uninteresting study of royal psycholology as it was and as it largely remains today.'"--Book jacket |

1 Queen Mary, the widow of George V
and grandmother of the Queen, died at
Marlborough House on 24 March 1953,
a few months before the Coronation.
She was eighty-five years old.
Unusually for a Queen consort, an official
biography was commissioned. The task was
entrusted to James Pope-Hennessy in 1955,
beginning a three-year quest that would take
him to many royal courts and to the lunch and
tea tables of retired courtiers and Ladies-in-
Waiting, along with access to a great number of
private documents.
Pope-Hennessy kept extensive notes about the
people he met and what he saw, but did not
intend for them to be published for fifty years.
Now, royal biographer Hugo Vickers has compiled
and edited these royal interviews, introducing the
figures and placing them in their context. The
Quest for Queen Mary is a fascinating portrait and,
in the words of Pope-Hennessy himself, a not
uninteresting study of royal psychology as it was
and as it largely remains today’, j
