“Just before the early hours of the morning of the 21st, I felt very uncomfortable and with difficulty aroused Albert… Tried to get to sleep again, but by 4, I got very bad & both Doctors arrived. My beloved Albert was so dear and kind. Locock [the chief obstetrician] said the baby was on the way & everything was all right. We both expressed joy that the event was at hand & I did not feel at all nervous.

Alas! A girl and not a boy as we had so hoped & wished for. We were, I’m afraid, sadly disappointed, but yet our hearts were full of gratitude, for God having brought me safely through my ordeal, & having such a strong healthy child. Dearest Albert hardly left me at all, & was the greatest comfort.”

- Queen Victoria on the birth of her first child, Victoria, Princess Royal.
