Amusing idea. I’m sure Augusta would have stressed the British way of doing things.
Here’s a little more from JP-H about Aunt Augusta whose “memory went back to the Coronation of King William IV and Queen Adelaide in 1831, and she was ever ready with advice.” “The Grand Duchess now in her eighty-ninth year, felt unable to face the journey: ‘Oh! that would have been my fourth [Coronation], but this I dare not think of, unless some Aerobike takes me to fly across! shall I venture?!!’ Instead of appearing in person she wrote her niece letter after letter of enquiries, to all of which Queen Mary somehow found time to send kindly, diligent replies.”
