Adelaide was an admirable queen, it's a shame she isn't appreciated more. She was a wonderful stepmother to the Fitzclarences (William's illegitimate children) and I believe one of William's grandchildren was named for her. When William died, she even continued to provide for the Fitzclarences financially, though she was under no obligation to do so. After William's death, the new Queen, Victoria, was writing Adelaide a letter of condolence, which she address to 'the Queen'. Her mother, the Duchess of Kent, pointed out that Adelaide was now 'Queen Adelaide' while Victoria was 'the Queen'. Victoria retorted that she would not be the first one to address Adelaide differently. Adelaide asked permission to stay at Windsor until William's funeral. Victoria told her to stay there as long as she liked. During her widowhood, she funded the building of an Anglican church in Malta. The city of Adelaide, in Australia, is named for her.
