H.R.H. Victoria

This evening I had a little wander around after you had all gone. I visited the nursery where our children were cared for by the estimable Lady Lyttleton, at least when she wasn't incapable through drink.

I noticed that there is a sign there which proclaims me as 'Grandmama of Europe'. Yes, that was a great success. My children and grandchildren spread haemophilia throughout the royal families of Spain, Russia and Germany; two of my granddaughters were murdered in Russia, one with her entire family, well done Alix. Oh yes...... and lest I forget my grandson Wilhelm turned Europe into an abattoir, not a village mind or a city or even a country, but an entire continent. I feel that you are not afflicted by irony.

I have to go now as Mr. Bell has just arrived to demonstrate his latest invention, something called a 'telephone'. Stupid inventor.
