CHAPTER II
7/30

The Duchess of Cambridge and my 2 cousins, George and Augusta, were there.

My Aunt, the Queen of Wuertemberg (Princess Royal), came over, in the year '26, I think, and I recollect perfectly well seeing her drive through the Park in the King's carriage with red liveries and 4 horses, in a _Cap_ and evening dress,--my Aunt, her sister Princess Augusta, sitting _opposite_ to her, also in evening attire, having dined early with the Duke of Sussex at Kensington.

She had adopted all the German fashions and spoke broken English--and had not been in England for many many years.

She was very kind and good-humoured but very large and unwieldy.

She lived at St James's and had a number of Germans with her.
