The Duke of York, surrounded by delighted women, holds an open box in which stands a tiny figure representing his bride. On the inside of the lid is a double-headed Prussian eagle and '13,000 &amp; Great Expectations'. He advances towards the throne (right), where the King and Queen stand on their chairs in their eagerness; the King looks through a telescope, the Queen holds out grasping hands. A very fat woman looking through a glass at the 'Pearl' is probably Mrs. Schwellenberg. Behind her are two ladies, probably princesses, with feathers in their hair. A group of women on the extreme left appears equally delighted: a lady holds up a stout child, probably the Princess Amelia (aged eight).  1 December 1791.
