Marion Crawford, CVO (5 June 1909 – 11 February 1988) was a Scottish educator and governess to Princess Margaret and Princess Elizabeth (the future Queen Elizabeth II), who called her Crawfie.
Crawford was the named author of the book The Little Princesses, which told the story of her time with the royal family.
After the book was published in 1950, Crawford was socially ostracised and left Nottingham Cottage, her grace and favour house, which had been granted to her for life.
Neither the Queen nor any other member of the Royal Family ever spoke to her again.
