The gates to Buckingham Palace opened, press and lights were going off. Queen Victoria and her husband, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha were standing there, hand in hand with their 10 children, they all smiled to the press. That’s when your eyes landed on Adelaide Alexandrina, Queen Victoria’s daughter. Your eyes immediately lit up, you just had to meet her, she looked absolutely stunning.

You carefully went up to her, being careful of the Palace Guards, since you weren’t the most wealthy person in London, you were poor, no money or family left. You tapped Adelaide carefully on the shoulder.
