Stuart
In Holloway Prison police doctors examined with interest last week Alexandra Maud Edwarda Caernarvon Stuart, a small female with hair falling in ringlets down her back, clad in a child's dress reaching barely to her knees.
Ever since 1927 various British boardinghouse-keepers have fed and housed Stuart and her elderly companion, Miss B. M. N. Morgan. "Three kings were her godfathers," Miss Morgan has explained to boardinghouse-keeper after breathless boardinghouse-keeper. "She is a Princess of the House of Bourbon. The estate will soon be settled up and she will get -L-90,000" ($450,000).
To police officers Miss Morgan hotly protested: "How can you bring the Princess into this? She is only a little child!''
Reported Police Doctor Anna Glover: "Stuart's arteries are thickened and senile. She must be at least 60 years old."
According to the Crown prosecutor, Stuart has been playing with dolls, dressing and talking like a child of 11, systematically perpetrating one of the most successful frauds ever practiced upon Royalty-loving Britons. Still indomitable in her pretense last week, Alexandra Maud Edwarda Caernarvon Stuart insisted: "My parents were married in Westminster Abbey. I am a direct descendant of Mary Queen of Scots."
