Last Will: After half a lifetime spent in mourning the death of her consort, Prince Albert, she said, "I die in peace with all fully aware of my many faults relying with confidence on the love. . . of my Heavenly Father. . . and earnestly trusting to be reunited to my beloved Husband, my dearest Mother, my loved Children. . . .Also I hope to meet those who have so faithfully & so devotedly served me especially good John Brown and good Annie MacDonald who I trusted would help. . . to see me placed next to my dearly loved Husband in the mausoleum at Frogmore." She bequeathed two private residences, Balmoral and Osborne, to son Edward VII, as well as property rights to other family members.
