i'm not sure where the recording comes from, but the quote is actually an abridged version of: "For the first time in the history of the world, a young girl climbed into a tree one day a Princess, and after having what she described as her most thrilling experience, she climbed down from the tree the next day a Queen– God bless her." which was written in the hotel guest book of the Tree Tops Hotel (actually in a tree) in, I think Kenya by Jim Corbett, a jungle cat hunter-turned-conservationist when the future Queen Elizabeth was staying there in 1952. supposedly her father (the king) died whilst she was up in the treetop hotel. So, she climbed into the tree a young girl and came down a queen. Not sure why its been cut just so in this song. PS, this is coming from wikapedia, so take it with a grain of salt. |
