Timing & context
Rising is timed soon after eight. Breakfast follows, but its start and duration are not stated.
Greville describes the Queen’s established Windsor routine after staying at court. This is his eyewitness account, not Victoria’s own journal. Some times vary; morning business and afternoon leisure are placed approximately.
1838 is the year of Greville’s account. His 15 December entry describes an established Windsor routine, not only the events of that day. The routine should not be generalized to Victoria’s entire reign.
