Eng land in 1899, and won the heart Of England g
queen. On October the l4.h, her ms es!y in.
formed the prime minister, Lord Melbourne, Of
that important but delicate fact, and the follow
ing day the prince had al audience with the
queen. The two lovers were placed in very
peculisr position. Tho social position of Vic

Tor her TO mako the proposal and offer her hand,
and she accomplished tho somewhst unususi

thst it would be the csuse of her greatest hap
