... that Dermot Morrah, a British journalist for The Times, wrote Princess Elizabeth's 21st birthday speech? Source: Utley, Charles (June 2017). "My grandfather wrote the Princess's speech". The Oldie.

The article is new enough and long enough with no copyright violations. A QPQ is not needed. The article says, "Morrah helped write a famous speech of hers given on her 21st birthday" and the hook makes it seem that he wrote it by himself instead of helped. The source says that it was Morrah himself. SL93 (talk) 01:39, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're right; I don't know why I put 'helped' in the article. I've changed that now. —AFreshStart (talk) 02:20, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. This is ready. SL93 (talk) 02:22, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
