A seven year old Princess Elizabeth serves tea in front of Y Bwthyn Bach, the royal Wendy house, a gift from the people of Wales to Elizabeth and Margaret on Elizabeth’s sixth birthday in March of 1932. To accompany the house, which was modeled after a typical Welsh cottage, she was also given a pedal car, with a live puppy in the back seat. In 2012 Princess Beatrice helped give the playhouse a facelift, changing the colour scheme from the original blue to a new pale green, choosing new curtains, updating the wiring and having the roof re-thatched. Eight decades later and the royal children still play in the little house. Royal Lodge, 1933.
