He married Katherine Elizabeth Forbes, grand-daughter of the third Earl of Granard.] [Footnote 22: Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Coburg, King Leopold's brother.] [Pageheading: THE QUEEN AND THE PRINCE] _Memorandum by Mr Anson._ _Minutes of Conversations with Lord Melbourne and Baron Stockmar._ _28th May 1840._ _Lord Melbourne._--"I have spoken to the Queen, who says the Prince complains of a want of confidence on trivial matters, and on all matters connected with the politics of this country.

She said it proceeded entirely from indolence; she knew it was wrong, but when she was with the Prince she preferred talking upon other subjects.

I told Her Majesty that she should try and alter this, and that there was no objection to her conversing with the Prince upon any subject she pleased.

My impression is that the chief obstacle in Her Majesty's mind is the fear of difference of opinion, and she thinks that domestic harmony is more likely to follow from avoiding subjects likely to create difference.
