So… just to give you some really fresh and curious news…..today we’ll talk about: King’s Nanny!

Did you know that King Emanuele’s III Nanny was Irish?

Now You do!…. Thanks to FlyingWords Blog!

Her name was Elisabeth Lee, but she was tenderly called “Bessie” by the Italian Royal Family. Bessie, who looked after the prince for 14 years, was one of the few people that Emanuele really loved…quite more than his own mother. The king used to tell her every little secret, really often talking about his rickety legs. She also gave him (when he was 10) a coin with the picture of Pope Pio VXI, and motivated his passion for numismatics.

Ah!…how many links we have between Italy and Ireland!
