Légende

Farnborough Hill House, Hants., the new residence of the Empress Eugénie, 1881. 'The widowed consort of the Emperor Napoleon III., whose bereavement of an only son, as well as of a husband, brought her the respectful sympathy of the English people, has preferred still to reside in England. Her Majesty will always be sure of the kind friendship of our Queen and Royal family, and was lately on a visit at Windsor Castle. Having quitted Camden Place, Chiselhurst, where the Emperor died eight years ago, she has chosen for her future abode the mansion formerly occupied by the late Mr. Thomas Longman, head of the eminent London publishers' firm, situate at Farnborough, in Hampshire...We may, therefore, anticipate that the Empress and our beloved Sovereign will often meet each other in that neighbourhood; and we trust that the invigorating air of the Hampshire Downs will preserve the health of the illustrious lady, who is now in the fifty-fifth year of her age, through the remainder of a long life, free from the cares and sorrows of her past career'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
