| Evidence: | Mary Berry to Horace Walpole, 28 September 1794, regarding remark in the newspapers that the move of the Prince of Wales to Hampton Court would ensure continued social diversion in the area even after death of the elderly Walpole: 'I did not suppose that the Prince of Wales was likely to become your [italics]successor[end italics] in anything, till the newpapers told us so. The enclosed paragraph, which we cut out of the "Times" the other day, amused us all not a little.' |
