| Not sure John it didn't say in the article.
Natal Witness Saturday 26th June 1880 The Empress Eugenie arrived in the City at 2 o'clock on Saturday, left again on Monday morning and arrived at Durban in the evening where she was the guest of Capt. Baynton during her stay.
Natal Witness Tuesday 29th June 1880 Departure of the Empress - Her Majesty and Suite left the Point, Durban at 3 o'clock pm on Sunday in the tug and embarked on the Trojan a few minutes afterwards which then weighed anchor and stood off to sea. A large number of the leading colonists had assembled to see Her Majesty depart. His Execellency General Cliff accompanied Her Majesty to the last. |

| Hi All
The Cardiff Times 31st January 1880:
The Hon.Mrs Ronald Campbell
The world says that the Hon. Mrs Ronald Campbell whose gallant husband was killed in the engagement on the Hill of Kambula, will be among those who accompany the Empress Engenie in her pilgrimage to Zululand next March. |

| Less than a year after the death of Lieutenant & Captain the Honourable Ronald Campbell, the press still manage to get things wrong!
Kambula rather than Hlobane!

| Hi John
Indeed. She, the Empress Engenie, was accompanied by others which I can't find the names of, although it is implied in some articles that she was with many more. |
