TRAGIC QUEEN OF SPAIN
Numbed by the news of the death of her son, the Count of Covadonga, Queen Victoria of Spain left the tea party at which she was the guest of honour at Carisbrooke Castle on September 7 and walked without a word to her room. Her mother, the aged Princess Beatrice, daughter of Queen Victoria, was with her when a lady-in-waiting crept into the room and whispered the tragic news, which had just been telephoned to the castle. Tragedy after tragedy had thus befallen Queen Victoria, and she received her latest sorrow with stoic calm. On the day of her wedding to King Alfonso in Madrid a Ipomb was thrown at the royal carriage, and her dress was splashed by the blood of the victims. Then came the tevolution in Spain.
