As Queen Victoria lay dying, a member of the royal household discussed the imminent event with Edward, the Prince of Wales. "I wonder if she will be happy in heaven?" he mused.
"I don't know, " said the prince.  "She will have to walk behind the angels ~ and she won't like that!"

~ Edward VII, son of Victoria, King of the United Kingdom 1910 - 10.
