ROYAL FAMILY TREE

• Prince
• Alfred
• Lived 1 year, 10 months, 29 days

Alfred became ill after his inoculation against the smallpox virus; his early death at the age of nearly two, along with the demise of his brother Prince Octavius six months later, was a shock to their parents. In his later bouts of madness King George would have imagined conversations with both of his youngest sons.
