Royal links to family

H.R.H. the Duke of Edinburgh was on board the research supply ship John Biscoe in the Antarctic on 21st August 1957 when my brother-in-law, First Officer Michael Smith (seen here welcoming H.R.H. back on board), received news that my sister had given him a son.  H.R.H. gave my brother-in-law a pair of gold cufflinks to mark the occasion.
