“I believe I forgot to tell you I was made a duke.” - Quotes by Victoria
“[Onher forthcoming coronation] I look forward to the event which it seems is likely to occur soon, with calmness and quietness. I am not alarmed at it, and yet I do not suppose myself quite equal to all; I trust, however, that with good-will, honesty, and courage I shall not, at all events, fail. They wished to treat me like a little girl, but I will show them that I am Queen of England. We are not amused.”
- Quotes by Charles Spencer, Earl Spencer, Viscount Althorp
