The Princesses are related to the GWR King Class, the general outline essentially being a King with a larger firebox supported by additional trailing wheels. This origin is explained by the designer William Stanier coming from the GWR to the LMS.

6212 Duchess of Kent entered traffic on 21 October 1935, allocated to Camden shed and fitted with a riveted 9-ton LMS tender. Oddly, out of all the Princess Royals built at Crewe, 6212 was the only one to be fitted with a Derby style smokebox door.
LMS Princess Coronation class 6221 "Queen Elizabeth" hauls the Royal Train at Headstone lane on a journey from Glasgow to London. This is the former LNWR Royal Train. It retained the LNWR "plum and spilt milk" livery apparently because the King liked it. During the Second World War these Royal Train carriages were repainted into LMS red livery.
