Title: Princess Dowager Guo
Passage: Prior to 363, Zhang Xuanjing's grandmother Princess Dowager Ma had been princess dowager, but after she died that year, Zhang Xuanjing honored Lady Guo as princess dowager. (She was only described as Zhang Chonghua's concubine and not as Zhang Xuanjing's mother, but there would be little reason for him to honor her as princess dowager if she were not his mother.) Because Zhang Xuanjing's uncle, the regent Zhang Tianxi, was acting dictatorially, she conspired with officials led by Zhang Qin (張欽) to kill Zhang Tianxi, but the news leaked, and Zhang Tianxi had Zhang Qin put to death. (This implies that Princess Dowager Guo was not put to death.) Zhang Xuanjing, in fear, offered to yield the throne to Zhang Tianxi, but Zhang Tianxi refused. However, a month later, he sent soldiers into the palace and assassinated the 13-year-old duke. He himself took the Jin-created title the Duke of Xiping, which his nephew had held. Princess Dowager Guo's fate was not mentioned.

Title: Saint Helena
Passage: One commentator has observed that, notwithstanding the high unemployment resulting from the loss of full passports during 1981–2002, the level of loyalty to the British monarchy by the St Helena population is probably not exceeded in any other part of the world.

Title: Elizabeth II
Passage: Elizabeth's only sibling, Princess Margaret, was born in 1930. The two princesses were educated at home under the supervision of their mother and their governess, Marion Crawford, who was casually known as "Crawfie". Lessons concentrated on history, language, literature and music. Crawford published a biography of Elizabeth and Margaret's childhood years entitled The Little Princesses in 1950, much to the dismay of the royal family. The book describes Elizabeth's love of horses and dogs, her orderliness, and her attitude of responsibility. Others echoed such observations: Winston Churchill described Elizabeth when she was two as "a character. She has an air of authority and reflectiveness astonishing in an infant." Her cousin Margaret Rhodes described her as "a jolly little girl, but fundamentally sensible and well-behaved".
