Every day, after breakfast, at exactly half past nine, the British King George V (1865-1936) called his sister, Princess Victoria, on the phone. That was a kind of ritual between them.
Knowing that it was always him at that time, Princess Victoria often greeted her brother like this:
- Hello, you old fool!
- Excuse me, Your Royal Highness, you are mistaken. This is the Buckingham Palace operator. His Majesty is not yet on the line. – The operator corrected her regularly.
