They loved him. ThursdayApril 4, 2019 His closest friend in the whole world was his sister Alice to whom he could confide anything. ThursdayApril 4, 2019 1861 Bertie’s Fall: An actress, Nellie Clifden 6 Sept Curragh N. C. 1st time 9 Sept Curragh N. C. 2nd time 10 Sept Curragh N. C. 3rd time The discovery of these cryptic notes allows us to pinpoint exactly the date of Bertie’s “fall.” “N.C.” was Nellie Clifden, a lady of easy virtue who had followed the brigade from London. Urged on by his fellow officers, Bertie escaped at night through the windows of his quarters, and made love to her in another officer’s hut. As his diary reveals, this took place not once but on three occasions. ThursdayApril 4, 2019 December 1861 The terrible death of Prince Albert ThursdayApril 4, 2019 When the funeral was over, Victoria blamed Bertie for the death of his father: the scandal over Nellie Clifden killed him. “I don’t mind telling you as an old friend … that what killed [Albert], was that dreadful business at the Curragh about Nellie Clifden.” Seymour pleaded that Bertie’s fall was the sort of error that few young men escaped, but the Queen was adamant: She could never forget that he had caused his father’s illness.” She said Bertie shows nothing of his father, “the others Princess Royal and Alfred in particular had just something of his look, but the Prince of Wales nothing and she could not help being relieved when he was gone from.” It was a horrilve thing for a grieving mother to tell her grieving son. But this she did. ThursdayApril 4, 2019 The Bride to Be: Princess Alexandra of Denmark ThursdayApril 4, 2019 King Christian IX of Denmark and his 6 children ThursdayApril 4, 2019 Poet Laureate Alfred, Lord Tennyson, wrote an ode in Alexandra's honour: Sea King's daughter from over the sea, Alexandra!

Victoria in mourning looking at bust of Albert ThursdayApril 4, 2019 Edward and Alexandra of Denmark on their wedding day 1863 ThursdayApril 4, 2019 Thomas Longley, the Archbishop of Canterbury, married the couple on 10 March 1863 at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The choice of venue was criticized widely. As the ceremony took place outside London, the press complained that large public crowds would not be able to view the spectacle. Prospective guests thought it awkward to get to and, as the venue was small, some people who had expected invitations were disappointed. The Danes were dismayed because only Alexandra's closest relations were invited. The British court was still in mourning for Prince Albert, so ladies were restricted to wearing grey, lilac or mauve] As the couple left Windsor for their honeymoon at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, they were cheered by the schoolboys of neighbouring Eton College, including Lord Randolph Churchill. ThursdayApril 4, 2019 birth of Victoria's grandson Albert Victor 1864 six children Alfred Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha George Louise Victoria Maud John ThursdayApril 4, 2019 In public, Alexandra was dignified and charming; in private, affectionate and jolly. She enjoyed many social activities, including dancing and ice-skating, and was an expert horsewoman. She also enjoyed hunting, to the dismay of Queen Victoria, who asked her to stop, but without success. Even after the birth of her first child, she continued to socialize much as before, which led to some friction between the queen and the young couple, exacerbated by Alexandra's loathing of Prussians and the queen's partiality towards them. ThursdayApril 4, 2019 ThursdayApril 4, 2019 "Eddy" 1864-1892 ThursdayApril 4, 2019 After two unsuccessful courtships, he was engaged to be married to Princess Mary of Teck in late 1891. A few weeks later, he died during an influenza pandemic. Mary later married his younger brother, who became King George V in 1910.

Foreign travel had to be 100% under her control. And foreign travel meant foreign policy and foreign policy meant Prussia. Victoria was pro-Prussia. Bertie was married to Denmark. With her ministers she implied Bertie was too lazy to attend to correspondence (which was untrue) therefore he did not need to see it.

ThursdayApril 4, 2019 Beatrice's childhood coincided with Queen Victoria's grief following the death of her husband Albert, Prince Consort on December 14, 1861. As her elder sisters married and left their mother, Queen Victoria came to rely on the company of her youngest daughter, whom she called "Baby" for most of her childhood. Beatrice was brought up to stay with her mother always and she soon resigned herself to her fate.e ThursdayApril 4, 2019 Prince Henry of Battenberg 1858-1896 (37) ThursdayApril 4, 2019 Queen Victoria agreed to the marriage on the condition that the couple should make their home with her. The Queen formally gave her consent to the marriage at a meeting of the Privy Council on 27 January 1885.

  • The Rees and Carrington Extracts
    THE REES AND CARRINGTON EXTRACTS CUMULATIVE INDEX – PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS – TO 1936 (INCLUSIVE) This index has been compiled straight from the text of the ‘Extracts’ (from January 1914 onwards, these include the ‘Rees Extracts’. – in the Index we have differentiated between them by using the same date conventions as in the text – black date for Carrington, Red date for Rees). In listing the movements, particularly of Kipling and his family, it is not always clear when who went where and when. Thus, “R. to Academy dinner” clearly refers to Kipling himself going alone to the dinner (as, indeed would have been the case – it was, in the 1890s, a men-only affair). But “Amusing dinner, Mr. Rhodes’s” probably refers to both of them going, and has been included as an entry under both Kipling, Caroline, and Kipling, Rudyard. There are many other similar events. And there are entries recording that, e.g., “Mrs. Kipling leaves”, without any indication of when she had come – but if it’s not in the ‘Extracts’ (though it may well have been in the original diaries) then, of course, it has not been possible to index it. The date given is the date of the diary entry which is not always the date of the event. We would also emphasise that the index does not necessarily give a complete record of who the Kiplings met, where they met them and what they did. It’s only an index of what remains of Carrie’s diaries, as recorded by Carrington and Rees. (We know a lot more about those people, places and things from, for example, Kipling’s published correspondence – but if they’re not in the diary extracts, then they won’t be found in this index.) Another factor is that both Carrington and Rees quite often mentions a name without further explanation or identification.

  • Captain Andrew Aspden the Private Secretary to the Earl of Wessex, Bagshot Park, Bagshot, Surrey, GU19 5PL
    Captain Andrew Aspden The Private Secretary to the Earl of Wessex, Bagshot Park, Bagshot, Surrey, GU19 5PL 14th April 2021 Dear Earl of Wessex, I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and I join with the nation in mourning his loss. I write to express my deepest sympathy to you and The Countess of Wessex. On behalf of the Rayner farming family of Royal Berkshire, the whole family gives thanks for His Royal Highness’ dedicated service to the nation, and commitment to making a difference via so many charitable causes. His Royal Highness’ constant support to her Majesty throughout seven decades of marriage has been a true inspiration. I was extremely privileged that His Royal Highness was able to attend my Mayor’s ball in May 2013 at Guards Polo Club. His Royal Highness made it an incredibly special evening, as he took time to speak to the three school choirs, including the choir from St Mary’s School Ascot, and all our guests. With His Royal Highness The Prince Philip’s help, we raised a lot of money for The Prince Philip Trust Fund that night. His Royal Highness offered great support and wise words while my team was building the Carriage Driving Courses in the grounds of Windsor Castle. We will miss seeing His Royal Highness driving in his carriages and Land Rover around Home Park Private while we are preparing for the Royal Windsor Horse Show. I have many fond memories and encounters to remember His Royal Highness Prince Philip by.

  • The Carrington Extracts
    THE CARRINGTON EXTRACTS CUMULATIVE INDEX – PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS – TO 1918 (INCLUSIVE) This index has been compiled straight from the text of the ‘Extracts’ (from January 1914 onwards, these include the ‘Rees Extracts’. – in the Index we have differentiated between them by using the same date conventions as in the text – black date for Carrington, Red date for Rees).
