  • Notes 
    • "One day, Selina noticed another girl accompanied with her mother, and seeing that the child's shoelace was untied, she called attention to this and immediately stooped down and fastened it. The lady with her was the Duchess of Kent and the girl, Princess Alexandria Victoria, destined to become Queen Victoria." quote from the biography of Canon Christopher.
