February 24, 1880
The Duke of Edinburgh, the second son of Queen Victoria, arrived at Windsor today "to leave his children with the Queen," reports the New York Times. The Duke is going to Russia, to "accompany the Duchess home." The Duchess of Edinburgh is the former Grand Duchess Marie Alexandrovna of Russia, the daughter of Alexander II.
The Court Circular notes that "Their Royal Highnesses Prince Alfred and the Princesses Marie, Victoria and Alexandra of Edinburgh have arrived at the Castle on a visit to Her Majesty."
[The Duke of Edinburgh returned to Clarence House on March 14, and Duchess of Edinburgh "is expected to return from St. Petersburg towards the end of next month or early in May."]
