The nineteen year-old Alexandra, Princess of Wales gave birth to a son at just before nine in the evening at Frogmore House near Windsor Castle in southern England. She and the Prince of Wales had been married the previous year and the child had not be expected for some days. The healthy boy was named Albert Victor and took his place as second in line to Queen Victoria's throne. He never became king, however, since he died of pneumonia in 1892. (By John Osborne)
