Lloyd George was at no time a prolific correspondent, writing very sparingly to both personal friends and political associates.
Lloyd George wrote secure in the knowledge that both groups of letters would be perused anxiously and proudly by his revered uncle and mentor Richard Lloyd ("Uncle Lloyd").
Lloyd George is not the only Liberal Party leader whose papers are held at the National Library for a substantial archive of the political and personal papers of E. Clement Davies (1884-1962) has also been deposited by his widow and son.

Megan Lloyd George was not only the first of them- she also remains the longest serving and the only one to become Deputy Leader of her party.
As the daughter of the former Prime Minister and the dominant figure in Welsh politics, her selection to fight the then safe Liberal seat of Anglesey in 1929 was a matter of some controversy.
Megan’s brother Gwilym was already an M.P and it seemed to some that David Lloyd George was intent on creating his own dynastic power base.

Very controversially Lloyd George and the Conservative leader Andrew Bonar Law wrote a joint letter of support to candidates to indicate they were considered the official Coalition candidates - this "coupon" as it became known was issued against many sitting Liberal MPs, often to devastating effect, though not against Asquith himself.
Lloyd George still claimed to be leading a Liberal government, but he was increasingly a prisoner of the Conservatives.
Asquith died in 1926 and the enigmatic figure of Lloyd George returned to the leadership and began a drive to produce coherent policies on many key issues of the day.

 Reeling Blow - TIME
Under normal circumstances the results would have been easily predictable, for Carmarthen is a Liberal Party stronghold and one of the candidates was pert, jaunty, 54-year-old Lady Megan Lloyd George, daughter and longtime political aide of the late Liberal Prime Minister David Lloyd George.
Lady Megan ("Megan Turncoat," as some of her detractors called her) was standing against and not with her father's old party.
With Laborite Lloyd George's election, the Liberal Party's representation in the House of Commons was reduced to a pitiful five members.

The Library's extensive Lloyd George archives have been further enriched by the recent acquisition from the third Viscount Tenby of a small group of papers relating to his father Gwilym Lloyd-George (1894-1967) and his grandfather David Lloyd George (1863-1945).
Lloyd George had enjoyed a warm rapport with Prince Edward ever since his investiture as Prince of Wales at Caernarfon Castle in 1911.
In the letter, after declining an invitation to attend a garden fete at Staines, Lady Megan refers to her appointment as Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in January, and to her intensive pre-election campaign in highly marginal Anglesey where, in fact, she was defeated by Cledwyn Hughes for Labour in October 1951.

Henry VIII had six wives, but George III had as many daughters, and the half-dozen female offspring of that long-reigning and ever-productive king (who also fathered nine sons) are the collective subject of this greatly involving biography by the author of The Unruly Queen (1996), a well-respected chronicle of George III's daughter-in-law, Queen Caroline.
George III, however, had been horrified by the ill treatment two of his own sisters received at the hands of unloving husbands, and he was determined that his own daughters would not suffer such a fate.
We often read about the political repercussions of George III's mental disability and the deterioration of the relationship between the Regent and his parents, but I found Fraser's description of the effect that it had on the Queen and their daughters to be particularly moving.

It was Lloyd George who had introduced much of the revolutionary welfare legislation during the years 1908-11, and it was two other Welshmen who completed the far-reaching reforms of the Labour Party's policies after WWII.
George Thomas, a die-hard socialist of the old school, coming from a background in the pits, somehow saw the Welsh language as a threat to his own livelihood.
A quintessential English newspaper, the "Guardian" stated that the final Yes vote was delivered by Carmarthen, "the birthplace of David Lloyd George." All Welshmen know that the World War One Prime Minister was born in Manchester of Welsh parents, but was raised in Llanystumdwy, near Pwllheli, in Caernarfonshire.
