London . . . [Arrival of Princess of Saxe-Gotha.]
Apr 26. The Prince of Wales dined with her Highness at
Greenwich, in one of the rooms towards the Park, the windows
were thrown open, to oblige the curiosity of the people:
His Royal Highness afterwards gave her the diversion of
passing on the water, as far as the Tower, and back again in
his barge finely adorn'd, and preceeded by a concert of
music. The ships saluted their Highnesses all the way they
pass'd, and hung out their streamers and colours, and the
river was cover'd with boats. Their Highnesses afterwards
supped in publick.
