Royal Baby Album - Hardcover
The Royal Baby Album is a delightful, illustrated book which tells the story of royal children from Qiieen Victoria to Prince William. Covering the births, infancies, nursery days and escapades of these princes and princesses of the Blood Royal, The Royal Baby Album is full of endearing and amusing anecdotes.
The young lives of the royal children are recounted in fascinating detail by Diana Thomas. Pnncess Victoria, Queen Victoria s first child, was greeted by the doctor at her birth with the words: It s only a pnncess ! The nursery at Buckingham Palace was so far from the living rooms that Prince Albert used to drag the children through the long corridors in baskets. Princess Helena was upstaged at her christening the guests gazed in wonderment at the new-fangled gas lighting in the chapel. Victoria s children had hand-me-down clothes, kilts being popular as they did for either sex. Edward VII s unruly children once rode a small pony up the staircase at Sandringham. George V s son and heir, Edward, had Patrick Andrew David among his names to represent Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Princess Elizabeth, the future queen, had a favourite toy, a chair which played a tune when sat upon. Another toy, a Welsh dolls house, caught fire when it was being delivered to her and Princess Margaret Rose. Prince Charles and Princess Anne were luckier with their miniature touring caravan, which arrived intact.
This enchanting record of royal babyhood culminates in a special section on the future Prince of Wales, Prince William, known to his parents as Wills .
Lavishly illustrated in colour and black and white some of the pictures are from the Royal Archives The Royal Baby Album is not just a pictorial and historical record but indeed a book to treasure.
