The princess in the attic

The Telegraph discusses the treatment of Princess Alice in the new season of The Crown.

At Buckingham Palace, she was housed not in a far-flung attic room like Mrs Rochester in Jane Eyre, as depicted in The Crown, but in a handsome suite of rooms overlooking The Mall, next to the balcony room on the first floor; the same room that the Duchess of Windsor stayed during her late husband’s funeral in 1972, and was famously photographed watching the Trooping the Colour procession.

Página 12 (Argentina) features the play Reinos and how it came to be.

-¿Cómo fue el pasaje de este imaginario al teatro? A. M.: -Nos juntábamos a leer el diario y empezaron a aparecer otros libros, de Sara Gallardo, las hermanas Brontë; se iban sumando escritoras en la naturaleza, escritores que no viven en la ciudad, que escriben en la intimidad y que por alguna razón no fueron publicados hasta después de muertos. A partir de ahí fuimos escribiendo, dándonos cuenta de que había algo de nuestras vidas que se unía con ese diario. (María Daniela Yaccar) (Translation)
