Many of the trees growing along the waterline were planted by Victoria and other members of a committee charged with protecting the water supply for some 10,000 people in a remote district of Mchinji.
Victoriaís committee monitors and maintains the reservoir, along with a network of pipes that bring clean water from the mountains to 72 villages in the valley below.
In Mchinji, where Victoria and her fellow committee members decided for themselves to undertake the 24-kilometer hikes into the mountains to maintain the reservoir and guard its trees, it appears to be working.
Victoria, the princess royal (the "Vicky" of the Letters), was born in 1840; in 1858 she married the crown prince of Prussia and later became the mother of the emperor William II.
Victoria, moreover, gave her full support to the government's policy of repression of the Chartists (advocates of far-reaching political and social reform) and believed the workers in her realm to be contented and loyal.
Even after Victoria insisted to Palmerston in 1850, "having once given her sanction to a measure, that it be not arbitrarily altered or modified by the minister," the foreign secretary continued to follow policies disapproved of by both Albert and Victoria, such as his encouragement of nationalist movements that threatened to dismember the Austrian Empire.
