He looks melancholy and said to me himself he had never known a home - and never has had since his poor brother Maurice died, a relation near him, I mean to live with…Poor young man he is much to be pitied and we would wish to be of use to him...He shuts himself up and does not go out in society.” (Queen Victoria)
