“The pet of the Court.” Such is the description given of little Princess Victoria Eugenie Julia Ena of Battenberg. Her Majesty simply adores her; her three brothers think there is no sister in the world like theirs; her mother, Princess Beatrice, is very proud of her only daughter, and finds in her the best of comforts in the great grief she has lately passed through; while the late Prince Henry was devoted to the little Princess, and spent much of his time playing with her. She is a most amusing companion, for nothing escapes her attention. She is very quick at noticing things and she makes droll remarks that the Queen and Princess Beatrice often have a hearty laugh over them. Her favorite amusement is riding, and unfortunately, this led to her having a bad fall from her pony, when at Windsor some few years ago. The Empress Eugenie is Godmother to this pretty Princess, and she is quite as much wrapped up in her as those who are constantly with her, many beautiful presents finding their way into her own dainty rooms.
