Victoria to become a great-grandmother again

February 16, 1885

The London World reports today that Queen Victoria is about to become a great-grandmother again, "by the accouchement at Windsor Castle of one of her granddaughters." The newspaper did not name the granddaughter, but the granddaughter is mostly likely Princess Louis of Battenberg who is expecting her first child within the next few weeks.
Princess Louis is the former Princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine who married Prince Louis of Battenberg, her first cousin once removed, last April. Victoria is the eldest child of the late Princess Alice, who died in 1878.
