LONDON, June 25. Since the announce
ment today by the King's surgeons that
the chances of his recovery are of the
'slightest. Queen Alexandra, the Prince
and Princess of Wales, and the other
members of the royal family, have held
themselves In readiness to attend the
death of trie King, which it. is now con
ceded is likely to occur at any time. '
During the day the Prince of Wales has
waJted In an antechamer adjoining the
room In which King Edward Is fighting
for life. He evinces the greatest anxiety.
The Queen, although torn with grief
and a fear of the future, bears up well.
She has not at any time been visible but
remains with the royal grandchildren and
the . Princess of Wales, momentarily ex
pecting the call to stand at the . bedside
of her roval' consort for the last time.
King Edward will be succeeded by
George. Frederic, the Prince of .Wales,
who will he crowned under tbe name and
style of .George .Y.,Th Prince is in, his

Sketches of the Domestic Side
of the Royal Family of Britain. -
The domestic circle of Britain's stricken
King. Edward VII., has been a happy one.
A due amount of privacy - is carefully
maintained as regards their home life
by the principal members of the royal
family, yet the ordinary pursuits of the
King and Queen when the Prince afTd
Princess of Wales and tbe manner In
which their children wer brought up at
Sandringham have becojn well known to
the nation at large from the personal ac
counts of attendants, yfanants and others
In his Coronation robes, grasping his
receive the Lrown.
who have ample opportunity of observing
the various members. . Simplicity and
kindness are dominant characteristics of
the family. The example set by Queen
Victoria, Vhose domeetlo life served as a
national pattern, his been followed In the
two succeeding generations, and the King
and Queen accordingly have the pleasure
of easily gathering, around them their
children and grandchildren at their Nor
folk home. King Kdward was married
to Alexandra, Princess of Denmark, the
eldest daughter of the still, living King
Christian, In 1863, at Windsor Castle.
From the very moment of her arrival in
England the Princess won the affection of
the people ot her adopted land. Time has
simply strengthened that feeling. She re
ceived the nation's sympathy in the seri
ous illness of the Prince of Wales and the
sad loss of her eldest son, who had just
been betrothed to the present Princess of
Wales, and as Queen and the first lady
of the land she can confidently count on
the enthusiastic loyalty of the King's
subjects. .
EVERY INCIH. A QUEEN.
She hernt'Jf is very queenly and well fit
ted for her splendid position, for-she has
a very dignified and graceful bearing,
while at the same time she has an almost
magnetic charm of manner and a royal
knack of always saying and doing the
right, which Is always, too, the kind
thing. At any public place she will al
ways come forward even more- than half
way to meet acquaintances and talks so
simple and pleasantly that they are at
konco put at their ease.
Like the late Queen, she is naturally
domestic in her tastes, and of late years
Khe has been so much- In mourning that
she has withdrawn a little from the pub
lic sight; but to those in trouble she Is
ever visible, ana , only these can speak
with full authority of her gentleness and
goodness of heart. She regularly visits
the various hospitals-in which she Is in
terested, and at ' Sandringham all the
poor around are In her especial care. All
love her and look eagerly for the sight
of her sweet, winaqme face as she drives
through the village in her small pohy car
riage with one of hr ' daughters or ' her
lady In waiting. '. -1
LOVES OUTDOOR LIFE
She is cut all day long in fine weather
with her dogs, and: Indoors is generally
surrounded by her grandchildren, who are
devoted to her and whom she also adores,
more especially Prince Edward of York.
When parties are staying in the house
there Is. a 'very pleasant absence of cere

THE PRINCE OF WALES.
The sirong attachment existing be
tween King Edward and his only sur
viving son Is well known. The King sets
n high value upon the common sense
and Judgment of the Prince of Wales,
tvho as Duke of York- led so quiet and
retired a lfn In London and at Sand"
ringham. That his confidence was well
placod was proved in -the great tour un
dertaken by tlje Duke and Duchess of
York last year, which Is probably des
tined to have far reaching results in
strengthening the ties, of the colonies to
the crown. '
The Prince of Wales was educated for
th.naval service, and Is fully qualified
to command a squadron, having passed
up through all runks' as n ofHcor. He
was himself attacked .: by the disease
which proved fatal to his elder brother
and has dogged the British royal family
since the death of Prlnc '.Albert, , his
grandfather, In lSfil. .Toe .Prince ..of
Wles, who Is an active sportsman, ha
latterly enjoyed much better health.. He
married his cousin. Princess yictoria
Mary of Teck, In 1S93, daughter of, an
other populnr Rrltlsh, Princess 'of the
ducal line of Cambridgc- Shft, too, won
golden opinions on the imperial tour last j
year. There are four children- 01 tne
marriage, Prince Kd ward, born June 2S,
im; Prince Albert, born December 14.
ISDb; Princess Victoria, pp&n April 25, 1897,
and Prince Hnry, bofn March SI. 1900. ,
THE ELDEST DAUGHTER,.
The eldest daughter-of the King and
Queen, who Is the JPrincess t "Royal s, of
Britain, Is the Princess Louise. Her mar
riage to the Duke of Fife was a romance
which has been attended with a happy
sequel. Naturally of a retiring disposi
tion, the Prlnoess shows no - particular
wish to take a foremost part tn the bril
liant court pageants with which the new
reign is being inaugurated. In (this re
spect he takes after 1 her aunt, the
Princess Louise, Duchess of - Argyll. The
elder of her two little daughters is the
eldest grandchild of the King and Queen
and for a time- It seerned not Impos-
lfelo that th right of succession would
devolve upon her as the first heiress of
, the royal house.' " ' , ' -
V'-Ths Xbig' , second ' daughter, the
Princess Victoria, is her mother's con
stant companion. Bhe Is known as the
clever one of the family, being highly
accomplished and well . read.' Like her
sisters, she is an excellent salmon fisher,
the Scottish streams yielding many a
captive to her rod,' Lastly, there Is the
King's youngest daughter, the princess
Maud, who, was married ; to Prince1
Charles of Denmark in 1896. Prince and
Princess Charles spend part of 'the year
at Copenhagen, the Prince being an offi
cer in the Banish Navy, and part in Eng.
land, a house on the Sandringham
tato having been allotted to them.
Of the King's brothers, only Prince Ar
thur, the Puke of Connaiight, Is - now
aUv. , He Is the papular soldier Prince
who has held one of the great Indian
commands, the Aldershot and Irish com
mands, and will probably be nominated
for tho post of Commander-in-Chief. The
King's surviving sisters are Princess
Christian,, princess Louie and Princess,
Beatrice of Battenberg.
