Court Brimming With Royals And Noble Attendees At St James
A grand council chamber display drew a vast circle of royalty and nobility including the Prince and Princess of Wales, Duke of York, Duke of Gloucester, Princess Sophia of Gloucester, and numerous dukes, earls, and viscounts. Their Majesties attended, with state dress featuring emeralds, silver and gold embroidery, as a sedan chair bore Princess Amethra. An onlooker’s accident injured a woman nearby, and the dinner and ambassador receptions followed in the palace precincts.
