THE QUEEN ATTEMPTS TO RESTRICT PRINCE LEOPOLD'S MOVEMENTS
VICTORIA
(1819-1901, Queen of Great Britain)
Fine Autograph Letter in the Third Person to Arnold ROYLE
(Prince Leopold's physician) saying that the Queen has heard from Leopold that he is "very anxious 'if' he 'is able' to attend Mr Royle's marriage - a desire she entirely enters into, feeling that her son wd. wish to assure Mr Royle all possible respect on such an occasion in return for his care of him. But the Queen feels sure from Mr. Royle's own acct. of Leopd's legs - that he is unfit for the exertions just before the journey to Osborne & she trusts Mr Royle will himself ask the Prince not to do so - & even insist on his not doing it - in his present weak & lame state. Getting in & out of Carriages & standing wd, the Queen feels sure, be a gr. Risk, and he surely ought to go straight from Claremont to Osborne. Perhaps Dr. Legg or Dr. Poore shd. be with him on the 20th & go as far as Portsmouth with him, where Dr Marshall shd. be sent to meet him ...", 4 sides 8vo., on her black edged monogrammed mourning paper, Windsor Castle, 15th December
