Greetings, I am Sir John Ponsonby Conroy, 1st Baronet. I was born on October 21, 1786, and had the esteemed privilege of serving as the comptroller to the Duchess of Kent and her daughter, Princess Victoria, the future Queen of the United Kingdom. My dedication to the upbringing of Princess Victoria and the design of the Kensington System were hallmarks of my service, despite the challenges and controversies that may have arisen during that time.
