Charlotte of Prussia – The Princess tortured by ill-health (Part two)

July 31, 2019 Moniek Bloks 0

From Queen Victoria to the Empress Frederick – Osborne,  31 July 1900 I little thought when I wrote yesterday giving a bad account of beloved Affie that the end was so near. It is too terrible and, I fear, must be a great shock to you. We have been kept quite in the dark and [read more]
