We greatly regret to record the death of Prince John,
the King't youngest child, which occurred suddenly during sleep at Sand- ringham last Saturday. The Prince, who was the fifth son and sixth child of the King and Queen, was born at York Cottage on July 12th, 1905. He had been subject to epileptic seizures during the greater part of his short life, and latterly required mustard attendance, though in appearance he wan healthy and happy. He was seldom in the public view, and lived in retire- ment at Frogmen:. and Sandringham. The Court has gone into mourning for a total period of six week!. The sympathy of all ranks and classes will be deepened by the universal sense of respect for the unselfish and untiring devotion of the King and Queen to every national interest and prepare, during the stress of so many years of war.
