'All the ladies and gentlemen, including the Princess herself...attired themselves in loose dresses of white flannel to go down into the mine...By the side of...[the] path, and on the heights above, were hundreds of people, the spectators of a curious scene. On each hand were high, jagged, weather-beaten rocks, with here and there a rude construction of planks and beams to aid in the working of the mine. Halfway below was the head of the shaft, the gaunt upper works and wooden platforms hanging over deep chasms, and at the base of the high rugged cliffs the water surging itself into foam against the black, seaweed-covered rocks...On arriving at the mouth of the shaft, the Princess..., having on a coarse straw hat trimmed with blue, took her place with Mr. St. Aubyn...the Prince and a brakesman sat on the next seat behind them...The car descended gently down a steep inclined plane, and in a moment, the Royal party had passed downwards from the light into the dark shaft, the depth of which is about 200 fathoms. The bottom-level of the mine extends horizontally about half a mile beneath the sea...A part of this mine belongs to the Prince of Wales'. From "Illustrated London News", 1865.

PRINCE LEOPOLD LAYING THE FOUNDATION-STONE OF A NEW INFIRMARY AT BISHOP'S WALTHAM, HANTS., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Prince Leopold laying the Foundation-Stone of the Royal Albert Infirmary at Bishop's Waltham, Hants., 1864. 'The little town of Bishop's Waltham, in Hampshire, was enlivened on Thursday week by the presence of a youthful member of the Royal family [Prince Leopold was a son of Queen Victoria]...During the performance of the National Anthem the young Prince stood facing the stone, with Earl Granville on his right and Prince Louis of Hesse on his left. He appeared to be in remarkably good health, but, as was very natural, seeing that this was the first public ceremony in which he took part, a little nervous and excited. The anthem having been sung, the Bishop of Winchester read a form of prayer adapted to the occasion, after which the architect handed to his Royal Highness a beautiful silver trowel, with which Prince Leopold spread the mortar over the stone in a very neat and expeditious manner. The stone having been lowered into its place, the Prince gave it three taps with the mallet, and, having applied the square and plumb-line, pronounced the first stone of the building laid. Three hearty cheers followed, after which the 100th Psalm, "All people that on earth do dwell," was sung by the choir, the people joining'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864.

The progress of the Duke through the town was a triumphal procession. He and those who accompanied him had to pass through a perfect shower of flowers on their way through the streets...The Duke rode bareheaded, and repeatedly thanked the people on all sides for the reception accorded him. At six in the evening the illumination began, and in half an hour Kiel was resplendent with light. At half-past eight the Duke rode through the town in a carriage, having with him Count Louis Reventlow (who has been his resident Minister at Hamburg for some time) and two of the local senators, while the crowds around the carriage increased each instant, and each instant the roar of their cheers, mingled with the national songs, became louder and louder. At times the progress of the carriage became stopped by the throng; but, after a tour which lasted for an hour, the Duke returned to the place whence he set out'.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES TO SWEDEN: THE LANDING AT STOCKHOLM…, 1864. CREATOR: MASON JACKSON.
Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Sweden: the landing at Stockholm, from a sketch by our special artist, 1864. The future King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra in Scandinavia. 'The crowd of spectators on the quay presently saw the Royal visitors approach...The quay reached and foot set on terra firma, it was but a step to the carriages; and, as the members successively of the Royal family took their places in them, running footmen, with flambeaux, dashed to the front, the quaintly-costumed horsemen galloped at their side, the coaches themselves tore off at speed, and an exciting spectacle was presented...The torchlight procession, for such it was, from the quay to the palace, was indeed a curious sight. The "Charles the Twelfth" guards are the most antiquated in appearance of any troops in Europe, since they wear the same broad-skirted blue coats, looped up in the same fashion, faced with the same yellow facings, and accompanied by the same three-cornered hats, as the ambitious conqueror saw on parade-grounds and battle-fields out of number. These mounted warriors were followed by officials, also on horseback, and also strangely apparelled, carrying flambeaux'. Illustration from "Illustrated London News", [1864].
