Mary was the wife of George V and died in 1953 at age 85. After she kicked the bucket, Pope-Hennessy interviewed her friends, family and royal courtiers, and kept notes of their confidential conversations. But he insisted his observations be kept secret for 50 years — and now they’ve dropped like a bombshell! The penny-pinching royal “never bought flowers at the florist. She would go round picking them out of vases in her rooms,…
