Talk:People's princess

Not a 'Blair original'
The phrase was clearly not invented by Tony Blair and in 1984 it was used as the title of S.W. Jackman's book The people's princess: a portrait of H.R.H. Princess Mary, Duchess of Teck. Should there not be some discussion of that point? AnthonyCamp (talk) 08:33, 27 May 2021 (UTC).
 * Interestingly this is from 1910: "the crowds that thronged every available point of vantage along the route gave abundant proof that the daughter of the 'People's Princess', as the Duchess of Teck was affectionately called, had found a place deep down in the heart of the nation".  The term was also used in 1879 by Behramji Malabari and by a Methodist journal to refer to Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, after her death. Even earlier in 1832 a journal published an ode to Princess Augusta Sophia of the United Kingdom that ended with the phrase - Dumelow (talk) 19:19, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
