          <note>'Royalties' refers to party currently staying at the Castle of Fredensborg, with whom Tennyson had dined on 17 September 1883, and which included the King and Queen of Denmark, the Princess of Wales, the Czar and Czarina of Russia, the King and Queen of Greece, the Princess Mary of Hanover, and the Duchess of Cumberland (see p.283 in source).

Other members of Tennyson's yachting party were Hallam Tennyson; W. E. Gladstone and his wife and daughter; Sir Arthur Gordon, and Sir Donald Currie (see pp.278-284 in source). </note>

          <ptr target="ukred-22975">From Hallam Tennyson"s account of a voyage on the Pembroke Castle (September 1883):

"[18 September] In response to an invitation from the hospitable Sir Donald [Currie] the Royalties came to luncheon on board [...] In the small smoking room after luncheon my father, at the request of the Princess of Wales, read ""The Bugle Song"" and ""The Grandmother."" The Czarina  paid him some very pretty compliment, and he, being very short-sighted, and taking her for a Maid of Honour, patted her on the shoulder and said, ""Thank you, my dear."""</ptr>
