Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Plymouth: ...Showyard, Royal Agricultural Society, 1865 Creator: Unknown
Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Plymouth: their Royal Highnesses in the showyard of the Royal Agricultural Society, 1865. 'On Wednesday forenoon their Royal Highnesses [future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra] paid a visit to the exhibition of the Agricultural Society at Pennycomequick, a well-known meadow adjoining the town of Devonport... After a short delay at the entrance, the Royal carriage moved forward amid the cheers of the populace...The Prince and Princess confined their attention to the horses and cattle...The thoroughbred horses were first brought out from their boxes, and, in the presence of the visitors, went through their usual trial. The ponies were next brought out and exercised, followed by the hunters [horses], who acquitted themselves satisfactorily. The carriage with the Royal pair was next drawn to the cattle ring, where the bulls were brought out for the inspection of their Royal Highnesses. The Royal party then proceeded to a tent, erected near the horse-ring, where they were entertained at a luncheon provided by the council'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865

A Regal Affair - The Prince and Princess of Wales Visit Plymouth's Agricultural Show
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, dated to 1865, we find ourselves in the midst of a grand affair as His Royal Highnesses, the future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra (then simply Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence), pay a visit to the esteemed exhibition at Pennycomequick Meadow. The scene unfolds on a sunny day with the royal carriage making its way through cheering crowds amidst pomp and circumstance.
As we gaze upon this historic moment, it's clear that the Prince and Princess are thoroughly enthralled by their surroundings - particularly when it comes to equine delights! They take in the majesty of thoroughbred horses as they demonstrate their prowess, followed by a showcase of ponies and hunters. The royal pair then makes its way to the cattle ring, where mighty bulls await inspection.
The pièce de résistance is yet to come: a luncheon provided by the council within a specially erected tent near the horse-ring. This delightful print captures not only an important moment in British history but also offers us a glimpse into the lives of royalty during this era - one marked by grandeur, tradition, and pageantry.
