The Princess Frederick William of Prussia promenading in the garden of the palace at Charlottenburg, 1860. 'Mr. Ludwig Loeffler, of Berlin, has forwarded to us a Sketch...of a pleasing incident in the home life of our Princess Royal [daughter of Queen Victoria]. In April this year the Princess was walking in the garden of the Palace in Charlottenburg, near Berlin, when she met a little girl who was going to fetch some flowers from the gardener, for the purpose of making a garland for the grave of her little brother, who had recently died. The Princess herself had gathered a great number of violets, and borrowed from the child her basket to take them in, desiring her to come on the next day to the same place, when she should receive back her basket. Very unfavourable weather, however, prevented the Princess from keeping her appointment: but the Prince met the child instead, and handed to her not only the filled basket but a nice dress, as a present from "his wife".' From "Illustrated London News", 1860. News", 1860.
