Royal Princess

Friday was the birthday of the Queens daughter, the Princess Christian who was born at Buckingham Palace on May 25th 1846.
The Princess is very charitable and one of the most practical of Royal people. She has earned a certificate for proficiency in nursing and can sew and knit, cook and do many other things in which such high placed persons are supposed not to take an interest.
When visiting the poor, always unattended, she only permits them to address her as ' Ma'am '.

From the 'Chit chat for Ladies' page, Rochdale Times, May 31st 1900.
