Wasn't the princess' Mellotron repossessed? I seem to recently recall a mention of some sort of ruckus about that backwhen.

Hi Jon and gang,    I sent the royal family a sympathycard and letter in 1997,
after the untimely death of  Princess Diana (England's Rose) inParis.
I also just happened to make mention of Princess Margaret's Mellotron.

To my surprise, I got an answer from her secretary (on royal lithographed
stationery,of course ) !  She (PM) acknowledged that fact thatshe owned the
Tron once, but didn't specify anything further. I think JB mentionedonce that
an attempt was made to reposses the Tron but failed.  So I wonderif that
classic keyboard is sadly in storage somewhere far beneath the wallsof
Buckingham Palace.

Cheers,  --JK-- (a bit moldy from basement storage too)
