31 Peel and the Conservative Party, p. 463.

32 Fulford, op. cit., p. 67, repeated by Longford, op. cit., p. 156, states that the Queen did not know. In fact she had told Melbourne on May 5th, who reported the fact to Anson, that ‘she was prepared to give way upon the ladies if required, but much wished that that point might be previously settled by negotiation with Sir R. Peel, to avoid any discussion or difference’. (Memorandum by Anson, May 5th 1841). On May 12th Queen Victoria wrote in her Journal that Melbourne ‘gave me the copies of Anson’s conversations with Peel’. Thus, although Anson was the intermediary, both the Queen and the Prime Minister were fully informed.
