"Oh..." Arthur, hiding at the corridor's corner to eavesdrop, couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face. He muttered, "Does the Duchess really have to disclose everything? She's even mentioned the second Sophia... I thought the two of them got along well..."
Miss Flora Hastings heard this and gave him a gentle glare, tugging at his sleeve to signal him to stay silent.
Of course, they both knew what the second Sophia referred to. Here, Sophia was King William IV's sister, Victoria's aunt: Princess Sophia.
"Portrait of Princess Sophia" painted by British artist Thomas Lawrence in 1824, is now housed in Windsor Castle, Berkshire, UK.
Within the British Royal Family, Princess Sophia is quite an exceptional figure; she rarely appears in public and barely participates in various social activities in London, and remains unmarried to this day.
