ROYAL. IuGHNESS PRINCESS LOUISE.
Victoria POST
The following particulars respect
ing the royal family and our illus
triou, guests will he found especially
interesting to our readers at the
present time:
Queen Victoria has nine children.
eight of whom are living. All OF her
sons have Albert in their long list of
names. and the daughters, except
one, received at their christening the
name of Victoria in addition to nu-
merous feminine appellatlons. The
Queens children were born i'll the
following order: Victoria Adelaide
Mary Louisa. in 1910; Albert Ed
ward Prince of Wales. in lS4l; Alice
Maud Mary, in 1913; Alfred Earnest
Albert Duke of Edinburgh, in lS44;
Helena Augusta Victoria, in 1916;
Louise Carolina Alberta, Marquise of
Lorne, in 1S4S; Arthur William Pat
rick Albert, Duke of Connaught, in
1850; Leopold George Duncan AL
bert. lately married, in 1853; and
Mary Victoria Feodore, the Princess
Beatrice, her mothers constant com
panion, in 1857. The Princess Alice
died in 1878, having caught the dip
liberia from one of her children whom
she was tenderly nursing. Princess
Victoria was married in 1853 to the
Crown Prince of Prussia. In 1862
the Princess Alice married the Grand
Duke of Hesse-D Darmstadt, and in
1863 the Princess Helena espoused
Prince Frederick Christian of Schles-
wig-Holstein. The Prince of Wales
married a daughter of the King of
Denmark. the Duke of Edinburgh a
daughter of the late Alexander Of
Russia, and the Prince of Connaught
a daughter of Prince Frederick
Charles of Prussia. The wife of
Prince Leopold is the daughter Of ii
German Princeling. 1t will there
fore be seen that all the children of
the Queen have married Germans,
except three, and not one has made
an English alliance, the marriage OF
ths Princess Louise to Scottish
Marquis being the nearest approach
to it.
OF the Princess Louise only kind
words have been spoken. Her mar
riage is said to have been somewhat
different from the average of royal
unions in that love has entered large
II into it. In fact it has been init
mated that her august mother and
some of her princely brothers disap-
proved of it because the alliance was
not German, and there was a conde
scension shown unworthy of her
rank. Were this true, it would raise
rather than lower her in the esteem
of the world. She is said to be pos
sessed of admirable virtues, to have
artistic tastes and habits, and to have
womanly qualities which place her
high in the public esteem.
