Apostle Heber C. Kimball's encounter with Queen Victoria

While serving a mission in England, Heber C. Kimball witnessed a procession where Queen Victoria drove through the streets. During this time, he received her direct glance, and they exchanged bows. He subsequently invoked a blessing upon her.

In his personal account, Heber C. Kimball notes that he observed the Queen alongside Elder Woodruff, Sister Ellen Redman, and Dr. Copeland and his wife. He mentions that they stood within eight or nine feet of her when she passed and returned, noting that she appeared as a 'pleasant little body' and that she made her obeisance to the group, which they returned. He connects this event to a previous prediction by Joseph Smith that he would see the Queen.
