Courtly splendor and political murmurs from Richmond to St James's
A thinned tapestry of royal visits and courtly milestones outlines yesterday's scene from Richmond to St James's. Royal acknowledgments greet Dowager Princess of Wales at Carlton House and the Duke of Cumberland at Court, as Rear-Admiral designs and naval appointments ripple through, while whispers of parliamentary debates and trade anxieties murmur in the background.
