In common with every other member of a European Royal House, Princess May took a quite professional interest in anarchists. Nor was this interest an academic exercise: for she lived to know of several royal assassinations.
...
Princess May, like [Alexandra] the Princess of Wales, was in favour of lynch-law for active anarchists. Prince George considered 'hanging or shooting ... much too good for ... an Anarchist, they all ought to be exterminate like wasps'.
J . Pope-Hennessy, Queen Mary (1959), 237-8
