In an introduction which Walburga, Lady Paget contributes, she dwells with justice on the charm which the Queen has always exercised. "This charm bas not waned; it has been kept alive, by, the Queen's kindness of heart, ber unselfish- ness, simplicity, and unswerving truth- fulness, which have swept away all that is mean or base from her environment.?!
In her earlier years she exercised, a great influence on fashion: "Tha Princess's characteristics were extreme neatness and great simplicity, united to grace and dignity. There was never any. thing extreme design, shape, or colour."

Mr. Trowbridge tells how she was born' oa December 1st, 1844, the child of a Prince who seemed remote from the Danish throne; and how extremely simple was her upbringing. She was taught to make her ow clothes and instructed in the arts of housekeeping. Punctuality was the rule of the establishment, and. to conform to it was the most arduous of all the Princess's tasks. For an punctuality at meals, Prince Christian (her father) would make no allowances.. It was with the greatest difficulty imagin- able that she could arrive in time for the blessing." She could never overcome this failing, and even on ceremonial occasions, when punctuality is essential, ber attendants were obliged to resort to many a subterfuge to enable her to ready in time!"
But this was her own fault. Of dress and adornment she was fond, realising that fairy princesses should not neglect. externals: So early as 1858, when she was only 14, The Timer suggested that abs would be the most eligible lady, to marry the Prince if Wales, afterwards Edward VII: The suggestion was not popilar in the newspapers, and it was generally believed, that the Prince would MAITY Princess of Prussia." This project, however, was greeted with such sarcastic comment " in the British Press that it was opportunely dropped. The fold was clear..
Attention was drawn to the young Princess by Sir Augustus Faget, British Minister at Copenhagen. He told his wife, Lady Paget: "I know the prettiest, the nicest, the most charming Princess Princesa Aix, the eldest daughter of Prince Christian, the future King of Denmark. She is only sixteen, and as good as she is pretty!
The Princess Royal, afterwards the Empress Victoria of Germany, Queen Victoria's eldest daughter, was informed of the discovery, when her orders were i "You must tell the Queen at once, an soon as you can go to England, and find out all you can in the meantime.”
