Kensington Palace would surely be preferable to
Marlborough House, as a residence for the Prince
and Princess of Wales, if we are to crelit the Court Journal
account of the present crowded state of the latter abode, as
follows:—" The Prince of Wal,s's household consists of
sixteen male servants, and wuen to these are added the
housekeeper, the Princess's dressers, the maids, and the
stable department, under the dominion of the Mas er of
Horse, not forgetting Francatelli, eliel de cuisine, it will be
seen that, capacious as Marlboiough House is, it is com-
pletely filled by the establishment occupying it."
