The birth of the Prince Imperial made a great difference to his mother's position. If in the months preceding it she had been compelled to absent herself almost entirely from public life, she became a much more prominent personage in the State since she had performed the duty expected of her in giving to the Emperor an heir. She is said before that event to have been haunted by a dread of the fate of the Empress Josephine. Now at least all such fear was past, and in less than two years' time a ...striking proof of her altered status was given. It cannot be supposed that, had she remained childless, the provisions for her regency would have been made which actually followed the Orsini attempt. When Napoleon's wish of going to the Crimea had seemed impossible to thwart, it was a regency of ex-King Jerome, not of the Empress Eugenie, which had been discussed. After the Prince Imperial was born, the claims of Jerome The Prince Imperial 187 and his son were immeasurably diminished. One result of this was that Prince Napoleon was driven into more uncompromising opposi- tion.
