Description
The ceremony took place on board the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert during the naval review, held in appalling weather, in honour of the Sultan Abd-ul-Aziz who had succeeded his brother Abd-ul-Mejid as Sultan in 1861. The Sultan was, in the Queen’s words ‘very uncomfortable’ at sea and ‘was continually retiring below’. The Queen noted that the Sultan received the Garter ‘which he had very much set his heart upon, though I should have preferred the Star of India’. In the painting the Queen is investing the Sultan with the insignia of the Order. Behind her on the left stand the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Arthur, Prince Leopold, Prince Louis of Hesse and Princess Beatrice, with three Ladies in Waiting. The Sultan’s little son stands near him.
