The Coming Emperor.
Apparently all the women.—at least all the English women—who have had to do with the bringing up of Prince William hold him in horror and detestation. I have had numerous proofs of this, although I have never been able to fasten upon any specific reasons for it. Their dislike for him is based on a general conception of his character. This view is that he is utterly cold, entirely selfish, wantonly cruel, a young man without conscience or compassion, or any softening virtues whatever That he has great abilities they all admit; but they stop there. Heart he has none, upon their reckoning. And I am bound to say that if you look into his face with this preconceived notion of the young man’s charaoter, you can find plenty of signs whioh seem to substantiate it. — Berlin letter.
