I can only say... squee. ? Victoria is fascinating and spent her life having something to say about something (and everything). Is there a publication date?

How was it? I'd love to get mine but the shipping cost here may prohibit that for a while, sadly.

As best I can tell, this is the version without the footnotes, epilogue, and pictures, but a very good glimpse of Lady Milford Haven nonetheless. https://cdn.southampton.ac.uk/asset...16BFC4674981B7BEA9538BD33/MB21_transcript.pdf

+ unintentional humor: "When my mother married, there was no provision in the country for idiots"

Yes, this is the diary, but without the extras. Good detective work, now you can save yourself some money! ?

Victoria was a favorite grandchild of the Queen's. Maybe it explains why she and Louis got along so happily.
