The Prince of Wales was married on the
10th of March, 1868, to the Princess Alex
andra, daughter of Christian IN, King of
Denmark. The children born of this mar
riage are:
/. Albert Victor Christian Edward, born
Jan. 7, 1864.
2. George Frederick Earnest Albert, born
June 5, 1865.
8. Louise Victoria Alexandra Dagmar, born
Feb. 20, 1867.
4. Victoria Alexandra Olga Mary, born
July 6, 1868.
Maude Charlotte Mary Victoria, born
Nov. &c, 1869.
The Oldest of these children, Prince Albert
Victor Christian Edward, succeeds his father
as the heir-apparent. He wants one month of
being eight years Of age. Should he die be-
fore his grandmother, the Queen, his brother
George Frederick Earnest, now over six
years old, will be next in line. His three
sisters will inherit the succession in the order
of their birth, should both sons die without
children. There being five immeiiat, descend
ants of the Prince of Wales. it is not likely
that either of his brothers will be called to the
throne.

The title Of Prince of Wales was created
about 1884, when the principally of Wales
was included in the kingdom, and was to be
conferred on the first born son of the King of
England; and it is a remarkable fact in his
tory that, of the royal persons who have borne
the title, comparatively few have succeeded
to the throne.
Since Edward VI, son of Henry VIII,
the only persons bearing the title of Prince of
Wales who have succeeded to the English
crown were George III. and George Nv.
The present reigning family of England
owes its connection with the ancient monarchs
OF England through Elizabeth daughter of
James l. of England (Stuart), who, in 1913,
married Frederick ", the Elector Palatine.
iier daughter, Sophia, married Ernest Au-
sustus, Eiector OF Hanover. Upon the fail
nre OF descent in the direct line of the pro-
testant children Of James H., the succession.
by act of Parliament, was placed in the de-
scendants of Elizabeth, who were Protestants.
When Anne died, in 1714, Georeg /. of Han
over, son of Sophia, became. King of Great
Britain. The sovereigns o. that family have
been George l., George H., George ILL.,,
George W., w., William ", and Victoria
George III. was the first Of the family born
in England.
Her present Majesty was the only child of
Edward, Duke of Kent, fourth son of George
III. She was born May "a, 1919. She be-
came Queen June 20, 1887; was crowned
June %. 1888, and was married Feb. 10,
