Show Queen Fond of Snuff Queen Charlotte Sophia, wife of King George III of England, was so fond of snuff that she was the i principal cause- of making It fashionable, fash-ionable, wrote Rees Howell Gronow in "Recollections." "I recollect having seen her majesty maj-esty on the terrace at Windsor, waiking with the king, when, to the great delight of the Eton boys, she applied her finger and thumb to her gold snuff-box, out of which her majesty appeared to have fished a considerable quantity, for the royal nose was covered with snuff." |
