Many Royal persons have been suffering from illness. The King
of Hanover's accident has already been mentioned. The Queen Dowager's health causes some anxiety as her Majesty has a troublesome cough ; but it appears to have taken a favourable turn. Prince Albert and the Queen of the Belgians have had an attack of influenza. Visits, have passed between the Dutchess of Kent, the Queen Dowager, the Dutchess of Gloucester, the Dutchess of Cambridge, and Prince George.
