Arrival of the Prince of Orange at Somerset House
A lengthy report recalls the Prince of Orange arriving in England and being greeted by the Chancellor and ambassadors. He is escorted through St James's to the Queen's apartments, dines with the Dukes, and plays cards with the Prince of Wales and others. Lady Lucy Morrice loses a diamond earring at court. The Prince grants gifts to sailors and a diamond ring to Sir Charles Hardy. Further notices describe levée attendance, a forthcoming opera visit, the marriage procession, licenses, and stock prices.
