Thomas Cronin, who was temporarily the butler to Princess Margaret, has a whole lot more to his story than we get to hear on this program. Turns out he may have actually been. . . a KGB spy??? not4attribution.blogspot.com/2012/02/kgb-spies-from-archives.html

And here's an interesting contemporary news article on Cronin leaving the employ of the Princess: news.google.com/newspapers?nid=2194&dat=19600920&id=OekxAAAAIBAJ&sjid=4uQFAAAAIBAJ&pg=4442,898144&hl=en
