Royal visit leaves Windsor with princely costs and gifts
King Manuel of Portugal incurred heavy expenses during his London stay, including tips to Windsor servants totaling thousands, purchase of the Knight of the Garter insignia with a star costing at least $10,000, and vast gifts for staff. Historic comparisons note Napoleon III and Emperor Nicholas of Russia as more generous.
