Synopsis
Excerpt from Aristocracy in England
Not a few of the aristocracy are literally cousins of the present Queen. The last King, her uncle, ennobled seven of his illegitimate children, while two others married peers. One of these first cous ins was for a long time Her Majesty's housekeeper, another her naval aid-de-camp. They are proud of the kinship, too, and sport the royal liveries.
There are connections, however, that Victoria does not recognize. The line seems to be drawn at the descendants of sovereigns. One of the family habitually visits German watering-places with a lady who is not his wife, and duchesses dine with her because of her relations with royalty but the sullied gentlewoman never went to Windsor. Her Majesty countenances no such conduct In subjects, of whatever degree. It Is needless to say that her own life has been a model of purity.
