The ball in honour of Princess Victoria at St James’ Palace was numerously attended by the children of the nobility between 6 and 16 years old. Prince George of Cambridge and Princess Victoria opened the ball. Prince George of Cumberland, who is 14, did not attend the ball, because he has lost his sight completely.

1 June 1833

All 18 persons under sentence of death at Newgate, were reprieved by the King. Three of them were boys 12, 13 and 15 years old.

Wartime Egg-less Fruit Cake

8 ozs flour
3 ozs fat (margarine, lard, or dripping)
3 ozs sugar
half a grated nutmeg
6 ozs fruit
half a pint of milk
1 teaspoonful Bicarbonate of Soda

Rub the fat into the flour and add the dry ingredients. Dissolve the bicarbonate in a little of the milk and add to the mixture with the rest of the milk. Leave standing all night, then bake one and a half hours in a moderate oven. This makes a nice cake which keeps moist.
