Origins of Grosvenor House
Origins of Grosvenor House Until the 1730s, the site on which the Grosvenor House Hotel now stands was meadow and pasture land. The land was owned by the Grosvenor family, early property developers who eventually became the richest urban landlords in England. With their financial success came social advancement and in 1874 the head of the Grosvenor family was created the first Duke of Westminster by Queen Victoria. The first building on the site was a large detached house located on the south side of Upper Grosvenor Street, and its first owner was Lord Chetwynd. The house passed through several owners, including the Duke of Cumberland, son of King George II and commander at the Battle of Culloden (1746). The Duke of Gloucester, brother of King George III, acquired the house in the 1760s and lived there for 40 years. The house became known as Gloucester House. The property changed hands again in 1806 when Lord Grosvenor purchased it. When he moved in, in 1808, the house was re-named Grosvenor House. It remained the Grosvenor family’s London home for over 100 years. At the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, the house was put at the disposal of the Government, and occupied by the Food Controller’s Department until 1920. By then the Duke of Westminster had decided not to re-occupy the house, so it was sold. The purchaser was a commercial speculator Mr A.O. Edwards. It was Edwards who built what is now the Grosvenor House Hotel between 1927 and 1929. Building the Hotel Alfred Octavius Edwards, founder and chairman of Doncaster-based Edcaster Ltd, acquired the lease of Grosvenor House in 1925 and formed a company, Grosvenor House Ltd, to develop the site.

The History of the Rebellion in the Year 1745
Charles Edward Stuart THE HISTORY OF THE REBELLION IN THE YEAR 1745. By JOHN HOME, Esq. LONDON: Printed by A. Strahan. New-Street Square; FOR T. CADELL, JUN. AND W. DAVIES IN THE STRAND. 1802 TO THE KING. SIR, YOUR MAJESTY, at every crisis of a most eventful reign, hath acted in such a manner, as to captivate the hearts of your people, who love a brave and steady Prince. It becomes not one whose praise may be thought partial, to celebrate the virtues of his Sovereign; for the first book I published was dedicated to Your Majesty, then Prince of Wales: and when his Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland presented my petition, for leave to dedicate this History to Your Majesty, the petition was granted, in terms that I shall be proud of as long as I live. I am, with the most profound respect, SIR, YOUR MAJESTY’S Most faithful subject, And most obedient Humble servant, JOHN HOME. PREFACE. ISTORY assumes various forms, and attains different degrees of excellence, from the H importance of the subject, from those opportunities the Author has had to know the truth, and from the manner in which he relates the most interesting events of that period he hath chosen. IT is universally acknowledged, that the most complete instruction and entertainment are to be found in histories, written by those illustrious persons, who have transmitted to posterity an account of the great actions which they themselves performed. SMALL is the number of such historians; and at this day, Xenophon and Cæsar seem to stand unrivalled and alone.

THE ILLUSTRIOUS HOUSE of HANOVER Ann Lyon
Plymouth Law and Criminal Justice Review (2015) 1 THE ILLUSTRIOUS HOUSE OF HANOVER Ann Lyon1 The illustrious House of Hanover, And Protestant succession To them obedience do I swear While they can hold possession And in my faith and loyalty, I never more will falter And George my lawful king shall be! Until the times do alter. Anon. The Vicar of Bray, eighteenth-century satirical song Abstract The Hanoverian kings have attracted none of the affection the popular imagination accords to the Tudors and Stuarts, still less the romanticism. They are dismissed as a boorish bunch of Germans, with the possible exception of George III, who went mad and lost America, and perhaps George IV, who left the Brighton Pavilion as a monument to extravagance and had a decidedly colourful matrimonial history. When a reporter described the Queen as a 'scowly, jowlly Hanoverian', he was not being complimentary, and even Diana Princess of Wales once attributed many of her problems to marrying into a ‘German’ family. The truth is, as usual, more complex and infinitely more interesting, but, regrettably, little official notice is being taken of the 300th anniversary of the Hanoverian succession this year. This article seeks to redress the balance a little. Keywords: House of Hanover, royal succession, constitutional history, Act of Settlement Introduction Apart from a diversion through the female line in the person of Queen Victoria, and a change of name to Windsor, the House of Hanover has remained in place since 1714, to become the most enduring dynasty to

Childhood and Teenage Years
Special Topic Mag. Gross By Astrid Horejs June 2000 0 Childhood and teenage years Diana, Princess of Wales, formerly Lady Diana Frances Spencer, was born on 1 July 1961 at Park House near Sandringham, Norfolk. She was the youngest daughter of the then Viscount and Viscountess Althorp. Diana's childhood had been overshadowed by her parents' broken marriage. She was only six, living with two sisters and a brother on the royal family's Sandringham estate in eastern England when her mother Frances left home in a society scandal involving a messy custody battle. Earl Spencer later married Raine, Countess of Dartmouth in 1976. Together with her two elder sisters Sarah (born 1955), Jane (born 1957) and her younger brother Charles (born 1964), Lady Diana continued to live with her father at Park House, Sandringham, until the death of her grandfather, the 7th Earl Spencer. In 1975, the family moved to the Spencer family house at Althorp, in Northamptonshire, in the English Midlands. Lady Diana was educated first at a preparatory school, Riddlesworth Hall at Diss, Norfolk, and then in 1974 went as a boarder to West Heath, near Sevenoaks, Kent. At school she showed a particular talent for music, dancing and domestic science, and gained the school's award for the girl giving maximum help to the school and her schoolfellows. She left West Heath in 1977 and went to finishing school at the Institute Alpine Videmanette in Rougemont, Switzerland, which she left after the Easter term of 1978. The following year she moved to a flat in Coleherne Court, London.

The Real Place of a Princess: Public Response
The Real Place of a Princess: Public Response Lobna M. Shaddad, PhD1 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Available Online April 2014 The late Princess Diana of Wales (1961-1997) is one of the leading figures Key words: in the twentieth century. She used her fame as a British royal member to Humanitarianism; shed light on important humanitarian issues such as helping the homeless Princess Diana; people, fighting against AIDS, donating money to cancer patients, public response; supporting diseased children, and banning landmines. Her life has proven Princess Diana’s real place. that she is one of the few celebrities who care for people; especially those in dire need. This is why she earned titles like ‘queen of people’s hearts’, ‘people’s princess’ and ‘England’s rose’. Diana’s death in a car accident has shocked the world and put it in great grief. The accident is considered by her public to be a terrible tragedy. This paper attempts to shed light on the emotional response that followed the princess’s death by studying twenty poems that were produced after her sudden death. Such poems reflect the huge influence that Princess Diana had and still has till this moment on the British way of life and thinking. The poems also assure that the real place of Diana is in her people’s hearts and memories. They also make it obvious that the sky is a better place for her; to be away from oppression and suffering. This paper will also apply the five stages of grief introduced by the psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross to the poems in order to uncover the reasons behind giving Princess Diana such saint-like position by the public.
