ARR His Majesty King Charles III (b.1948) - Mixed media study of a sailing boat
His Majesty King Charles III (b.1948) - Mixed media study of a sailing boat numbered 'D 36' to top of sail, drawn when Charles was a pupil at Cheam Preparatory School between 1957-1962 and given by the then prince to Mrs Stella Jack, Head matron at Cheams from 1948-1974, signed 'P. Charles' in blue ink lower right, 20cm x 28cm, in later modern frame From a family descendant of Stella Jack, Head Matron at Cheam Preparatory School from 1948-1974. Stella Jack was born on 22nd November 1918, one of four children and attended Cheltenham Ladies School. After World War Two Stella was appointed Head Matron at Cheam School in 1948. She retired in 1974 after 26 years’ service and at the time was the longest serving and most famous of all matrons at the school because her predecessors had not stayed very long. Stella was the 'go to' person if any of the parents, of 80 boarding pupils, wanted to contact the school when dealing with their child's health and welfare. During Stella's time, the school was a boys only school, and she knew all the boys personally, including Prince Charles who arrived at the school in 1957 and was there until 1962. Stella met members of the Royal family on many occasions. On the occasion of Stella's 90th birthday, Prince Charles sent her a bouquet of flowers and she remarked at the time how she felt very honoured to have cared for him as a child. In a Bristol Post article titled 'Stella's birthday surprise from Prince Charles' on the occasion of her 90th birthday dated Friday 28th November 2008 her husband recalled; "She was just so overwhelmed to receive the flowers and especially the handwritten note. She was honoured to have cared for him as a child and despite having worked at the school she would never divulge any stories. The only time she would talk about him is to say what a lovely young chap he was". When Stella passed away in 2010, Prince Charles wrote to the family expressing his deepest sympathy and recounted some of those occasions when Stella looked after him, including experiencing a bad time when suffering from chicken pox or measles. Stella was known to be strict but had a great sense of humour and was addressed affectionately by Prince Charles as "Dragon".His Majesty King Charles III (b.1948) - Mixed media study of a sailing boat numbered 'D 36' to top of sail, drawn when Charles was a pupil at Cheam Preparatory School between 1957-1962 and given by the then prince to Mrs Stella Jack, Head matron at Cheams from 1948-1974, signed 'P.
