Shortly after the performance I suggested to Sir Piers Legh that Princess Elizabeth might be kind enough to autograph the albums.

In his autobiography, Jack of All Trades, Warner refers to the Command Performance, `My appearance before the Royal Family was another first-time event for me during the war. The occasion was Princess Elizabeth`s sixteenth birthday in April, 1942, when she made what I suppose one would describe as her first official entry into public life by reviewing a special birthday parade of seven hundred officers and men of the Grenadier Guards. Afterwards, Princess Elizabeth gave a party for the guards at Windsor Castle, and I was one of the artistes chosen to entertain the Royal Family and their guests….Everything, including my own act, ticked like a well-lubricated machine. King George VI, Queen Elizabeth and the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret were there, and at the end of my act I asked them to join in a song called "Oysters and Clams". They really had a go-very ably backed by no less than seven hundred guardsmen and officers. After the show we were entertained to tea and presented to the Royal Family. The King and Queen walked down the long line of artistes standing before the enormous fireplace in the great hall. The two princesses followed their parents and conversation flowed from one to another of us.`
