Boxes of correspondence have been brought to the Queen, which has had each "document read aloud to her."
The Princess of Wales and Princess Victoria have arrived in Bernstoff, ear Copenhagen, with the Princess' of Wales' father, King Christian IX of Denmark. The King;'s second daughter, the Dowager Empress of Russia, and all of her family, except for her elder son, Nicholas, have already arrived at Bernstoff.
