Dear Lehzen is sitting near me, and Mama and Sir John Conroy farther up on the strand, where the palm trees grow. It is so unusual that they flourish on English soil -- I should like to paint them. Only, not just now. As I write, my Uncle William IV is most likely in his golden carriage, on his way to Westminster Abbey to receive the Crown of St. Edward the Confessor. Unless dear Aunt Adelaide has a child, I shall be the next to wear that Crown. I should be at London with Uncle Billy for this solemn day day. Even with all his cares and duties of office, I am sure he feels this in his heart as plainly as I do. Yet here I sit, as the sun goes in and out behind the clouds and the seabirds caw. They sound so lonely, up there so high. On the Jacket 29 May ...I had to kiss His Majesty's hand. Really, one kisses the air over his hand, and that's a good thing, for he's so glistening with lotions and powders to cover the liver sports on his skin, which he hates... Aunt Soap says he was a beautiful lad when he was young. "Prinny was the handsomest prince ever. His curls were the colour of honey on toast, like that red-gold Russian sable the Princess de Lieven wears. " Now, unfortunately, his beauty has quite fled. Perhaps he does wear a corset, as I once heard Lady C. remark -- though I can't see that it does much good. (I'm sure she would be shocked to know I overheard. But I do wonder why so many people seem to think a young person's ears do not work unless they are instructed to by some adult.)
