It was the sight of the Eton birch which made Queen Mary exclaim: "If I had known the boys were thrashed with this, I should never have let Henry [The Duke of Gloucester] go to Eton."

Then he discovered that he was the son of Rudolf, the brilliant, impetuous heir to the throne of Austria-Hungary, and thus grandson of the old Emperor Franz Josef he had hated as a tyrant in his peasant days. But Rudo as an illegitimate prince befriending the commoners, studying art, hating the nobility, philosophizing over nature, marrying a peasant girl, founding an orphanage, is a dull figure compared with Rudo the jachook, worrying about the regular arrival...
