Queen Victoria, accompanied by two of her children, visited her aunt, the Duchess of Gloucester, on 30 June 1856. In her Journal she recorded that she 'went in the afternoon to Gloucester House & was daguerreotyped with dear Aunt Gloucester, Bertie & Alice, several times.' By Claudet's request, a notice to say that he had 'had the honour of daguerreotyping a group at Glocester-house [sic] on Monday' was included in the Court Circular for 2 July 1856. At least four daguerreotypes were made by him on 30 June. The Duchess, who was the last surviving child of King George III, died on 30 April 1857.
