Queen Marie has a rare old time in Wales in 1925, being honoured by the Gorsedd of Bards at the Royal National Eisteddfod, Pwllheli, where she is assisted by Winifred Coombe Tennant (Mistress of the Robes) and Dame Margaret Lloyd George. Moving on, relieved of the unflattering druidic garb, Marie dazzles in furs and pearls when visiting Y Wern, Porthmadog, home of Richard Metheun Greaves, owner of Llechwedd slate quarry, and his wife Constance, an accomplished wood carver.
