The Education
of the
Royal Child
By Louis Wulff
17HEN Albert, the Prince Consort, husband
of
Queen Victoria, wanted advice on the education, of his oldest son, Edward, Prince of Wales 'and helr to the throne of Great Britalo, he called a formal conference of all the most prominent educationalists of the day to discuss, the... whole problem with due solemnity and care. No auch laborious procedure is In the least likely to be followed by the Prince Consort's great-great-grandchildren, Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh, to decide the lines on which their first baby Bhail bo brought up and educated.
Nevertheless, the question of the baby, who ranks os second in succession to the throne, is one of such wide Interest and extreme importance that many con- ferences and family councils must be held for its discussion. At these informal, friendly talks, both now and in the future, it is the King who has the final word, for constitutionally, the education of the future or heiress to the throne is a matter for the Sovereign's decision. But the views of the Princess and her husband on such matters run so parallel to those of the King and Queen that there is certain to be complete agreement,
Lessons in the dimcult art of Royal living must begin at a very corly age. Neither the Princess nor the Duke intend tha! their child shall be allowed to form any preco- clous Ideas of its importance, The kind of babyhood that Louis XIV of France experienced, for with his
example, his father's courtiers constantly

I have no doubt that Sir Brian's view is the right one. But, as Sir Briun wisely said, it would be dangerous for the Western forces to withdraw if there were any question of the peace of Europe not being secure. Therefore, as n first step, we have to find some more moderate solution.
