Pencils And Plates In Order: Queen Elizabeth II Had OCD As A Child, Claims New Book

When one looks at Queen Eizabeth II, one would not think she had OCD as a child. But it turns out she possibly did.??

This revelation of the monarch who has ruled Britain the longest was made in the book The Governess by Wendy Holden which came out in August. It has been listed as 'historical and biographical fiction,' on Amazon and Google Books, according to?Daily Mail. The book claims her teacher Marion Crawford identified it as OCD when she would straighten up pencils and plates compulsively.?

"Marion, whose training encompassed child psychology, now realised she was looking at obsessive compulsion. On being asked as to why she would arrange the items, the princess said "Because it makes me feel safe," it read in the book as per a News18 report.

OCD or Obsessively Compulsive Disorder is a mental condition where a person feels he or she must perform a particular routine constantly. It is difficult for that person to keep it under control.?
