The queen was deeply in love with the prince, therefore upon his death from typhoid fever in 1861, she was devastated, experiencing a true traumatic shock, which led her to mourn constantly until her own death in 1901. This collection of memories is an opportunity for her to remember her beloved husband and the happy hours they spent together. She was used to taking copies of this book (the only one she ever wrote) with her on her travels, so she could offer it to people she particularly appreciates.<br \/>\nThe copy presented here was dedicated to L\u00e9on Brachet in 1887, showing the sincere affection the Queen had for the doctor, making it a precious and moving testimony for the Ch\u00e2teau. It also represents a touching token of appreciation for the multiple attentions bestowed on the Queen by Dr L\u00e9on Brachet (also first deputy mayor of Aix-les-Bains at the time) during her stays in Aix, including the organization of her visit to the monastery of the Grande Chartreuse, which required exceptional permission from the Pope (as entrance to the place was strictly forbidden to women).<br \/>\nThe rest of the showcase highlights various objects related to this sovereign:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Original invitation card for her coronation in 1838<\/li>\n<li>Royal \u201ctravel\u201d wax seal&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>An original framed copy of her signature and monogram.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small\">* This theme is discussed in more detail in our \u201cSuite Signature\u201d on the first floor as well as in the historical booklets available for consultation at the Honesty Bar.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This showcase is an evocation, through a few important and precious objects, of the history of Queen Victoria of England who reigned for more than 63 years over the largest empire in the world, between 1837 and 1901.
