The Girlhood of Queen Victoria edited by Viscount Esher, II, 262⁠–⁠9. Greville’s statement (Nov. 27, 1839) that “the Queen settled everything about her marriage herself, and without consulting Melbourne at all on the subject, not even communicating to him her intention,” has no foundation in fact. The Queen’s journal proves that she consulted Melbourne at every point. ↩

“I had much talk with Lady Cowper about the Court. She lamented the obstinate character of the Queen, from which she thought that hereafter great evils might be apprehended. She said that her prejudices and antipathies were deep and strong, and her disposition very inflexible. Her hatred of Peel and her resentment against the Duke for having sided with him rather than with her in the old quarrel are unabated.” The Greville Memoirs, November 3, 1839 (unpublished). ↩
