THE ROYAL FAMILY.

KING'S VISIT TO WINDSOR. FUTURE OF ROYAL PRINCES. (ntOlt OUR OW» CORRESPONDENT.) LONDON, April 5. It is understood that the King will go to Windsor Castle for a short stay when he is well enough to leave Bognor. If all goes satisfactorily this will probably be at the end of April or the beginning of May. The King wishes the Ascot racecourse procession to take place as usual, although he will not be able to take part in it. According to present arrangements the Queen and the Prince of Wales will be at the meeting, and there will be a Royal procession on two dayg —probably on Tuesday and Thursday, June 18th and 20th. The Queen has paid several visits to Windsor recently, and a number of improvements have been carried out under her direction. The most notable is in the magnificent grand corridor, which has been entirely redecorated. It is understood that considerable attention has been paid to the future of the Duke of York, the Duke of Gloucester, and Prince George —and the possibility of their serving abroad as representatives of His Majesty. Although no definite plans have been prepared, it is understood that the King has long considered the question of his representation in the Dominions and Colonies, and it is believed that when suitable vacancies occur they may be filled by members of the Royal George's new position at the Foreign Office will strengthen his qualifications for such a poet. It is probable that later he will transferred to some other Government de partment, so that when the tune comes for him to assume abroad the- responsi bilities of a personal representative the King, he will be fully eqmpped. Eight to ten years are mentioned as a period of training. Prince Arthur, of Connaught, proved | hHnself a very able representative or the King as a Governor-General oi South Africa, where the Earf- 0 , Athlone and Princess Alice are forging another strong link of affection between the Throne and the people of the Dominion. Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, presiding at the annual dinner of the London

Cornish Association, referred to the Prince of Wales as a landlord. ''The small profiteer," he said, "comes down and desecrates our coast with pink bungalows so that one would almost think that Cornwall, besides daffodils and broccoli, grew pink bungalows. Even worse is the speculative man who takes a piece, of Cornish coast and cuts off our cliff tracks, and cuts off the ground upon , which our fishermen dry their nets in the hope of selling it at a profit to some hotel. "We have good landlords in Cornwall who do. not allow this sort of thing, and chief among our .landlords is his Royal Highness the Duke of Cornwall, who is a model landlord. Cornwall has a character to. lose, and these landlords, and especially our Prince, are not protecting Cornwall alone, but are developing Cornwall along the right lines." The Queen's Work. The Queen will open the new wing of the Elizabeth. Garrett Anderson Hospital for Women, Euston road, N.W., on May Bth. Mrs Philip Snowden, presiding at the annual meeting of the hospital, paid this tribute to her Majesty Queen Mary:— Anyone who has been in close touch with public work cannot fail to have being almost .amazed at the Queen's nn tiring activity for any good cause. Had the Queen been an ordinary woman she would have made a marvellous leader in any cause which had for its purpose .the alleviation of the lot of women -less fortunate than herself.
