Victoria's death is very near

January 20, 1901

Queen Victoria remains alive, but her death is "expected momentarily, according to the latest reports. At 10 p.m.,  a "collapse occurred unexpectedly," and the Prince of Wales "was notified to return at once."
The "gravity of the situation" was increased by the Prince's inability to "obey the summons at once."  He is "seriously indisposed" and would not be able to leave London until 8 a.m., tomorrow.
Today was a day of "terrible anxiety at Osborne House."
