Does anyone know where the "For the first time in the history of the world..." quote comes from?

i'm not sure where the recording comes from, but the quote is actually an abridged version of: "For the first time in the history of the world, a young girl climbed into a tree one day a Princess, and after having what she described as her most thrilling experience, she climbed down from the tree the next day a Queen– God bless her." which was written in the hotel guest book of the Tree Tops Hotel (actually in a tree) in, I think Kenya by Jim Corbett, a jungle cat hunter-turned-conservationist when the future Queen Elizabeth was staying there in 1952. supposedly...

Having been in Treetops Hotel myself, I can confirm that this is indeed where that quote comes from!
