Victoria, the Princess Royal and first child of Victoria and Albert (21 November 1840 – 5 August 1901), known as 'Vicky', was not only the mother to their first grandchild, Wilhelm II, she was also the first of Victoria and Albert's children to become a grandparent, with the birth of Princess Feodora of Saxe-Meiningen, who was the daughter of Princess Charlotte (Queen Victoria's first granddaughter), in 1879. (Three of Victoria's 56 great-grandsons were stillborn, another died shortly after birth, and one of her 31 great-granddaughters was born out of wedlock.) Prince Albert, the Prince Consort (26 August 1819 – 14 December 1861), lived long enough to see only one of his children married (Victoria, the Princess Royal) and two of his grandchildren born ( Wilhelm II, 1859–1941, and his sister Princess Charlotte of Prussia, 1860–1919), while Queen Victoria ( – 22 January 1901) lived long enough to see not only all her grandchildren, but many of her 87 great-grandchildren as well.

That old saying (I don’t know whether I quoted all right) ‘Everything works good’, seems always to me such a truly comforting and good one.

Oh dear Alice, I know too well what it is to suffer as he would have suffered, and the great trial of not being able to enjoy life or to know what happiness is, like others. One of Frittie’s godparents was his uncle, Prince Leopold, who wrote to Alice: “It is such a dear, sweet and innocent little countenance, that I cannot help saying to myself that it is perhaps well that the dear child has been spared all the trials and possibly the miseries of ill health like mine for instance.
