Queen Victoria
“He was born at Rosenau, a favourite summer residence of his father, and received the names of Francis Albert Charles Augustus Emmanuel. At his baptism an address was pronounced by the Superintendent Genzler, who had officiated the year before at the marriage of the Duke and Duchess of Kent at Coburg. In it occur two passages which are singularly prophetic of the after life of the infant Prince. “The good wishes,” said the preacher, “with which we welcome this infant as a Christian, as one desti...ned to be great on earth, and as a future heir to everlasting life, are the more earnest when we consider the high position in life in which he may one day be placed, and the sphere of action to which the will of God may call him, in order to contribute more or less to the promotion of truth and virtue, and to the extension of the Kingdom of God… The thoughts and supplications of the loving mother are; that her beloved son may one day enter into the Kingdom of God, as pure and innocent after the trials of this life as he is at this moment (the joy and hope of his parents) received into the Communion of this Christian Church, whose vocation it is to bring up and form upon earth a God-fearing race.”MoreLess
