	Victoria, Princess Royal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was baptised in the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace on 10 February 1841 by William Howley, Archbishop of Canterbury and her godparents were the Dowager Queen Adelaide, the King of the Belgians, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the Duke of Sussex, the Duchess of Gloucester and the Duchess of Kent.
		As a daughter of the sovereign, Victoria was automatically a British princess with the style Her Royal Highness, styled HRH The Princess Victoria (and in addition being heiress presumptive to the throne of the United Kingdom before the birth of her younger brother Prince Albert, later Edward VII on 9 November 1841).
		Their sympathies created a rift among Queen Victoria's extended family, since Victoria's younger brother, the Prince of Wales, was married to Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the elder daughter of Christian IX of Denmark, who was also reigning duke of the disputed territories of Schleswig and Holstein.

		Within weeks of the marriage, Victoria was pregnant, the first of nine times that her role diminished with not only the lassitude of pregnancy but with the social need to sequester herself when bulky with child.

	Royal Insight > December 2003 > Focus > Queen Victoria's Christmas
		With nine children, her Christmases became great family occasions and many of the royal Christmas traditions were described in her personal diaries and in the contemporary media.
		Victoria and Albert took enormous pains with their presents, and would give each other specially commissioned paintings and small works of art such as an onyx cup, or an inkstand with a frosted silver stag standing on Scotch stones.
		Christmas for Queen Victoria was always more than trees, presents, cards and lavish food; it was an opportunity to celebrate family life and to share her good fortune with others - to cherish and uphold the simple spirit of Christmas itself.

	THE ORDER OF OUR LADY OF THE CONCEPTION OF VILA VIÇOSA
		This political disaster was soon followed by the death of the King Consort and of the royal couple's eldest son, leaving her only surviving son, João VI to govern in her name.
		Unlike the Orders of Christ, of Saint Benedict of Aviz, and of Saint James of the Sword, which had been founded as Religious-Military Orders and later secularized, the Order of Vila Viçosa was closer in structure to the Order of the Tower and Sword.
		This Order was associated both by its name and history most closely with the Royal House, and was an appropriate choice as the principal dynastic Order.

		The 4th Battalion was to be formed from the old City of Victoria Militia, for which compulsory service by 'ballot' still existed (although this was removed in 2278), which had long had a bitter rivalry with the RVRB since the days of the Independent Rifle Companies.
