Departure of Queen Wilhelmina and the Queen Regent of the Netherlands: scene at Victoria Station on May 9, 1895. 'Lord Carrington; Duchess of York; Queen Regent; Prince of Wales; Princess Maud; Princess of Wales; Princess Victoria; Duke of York; Queen Wilhelmina; Duchess of Albany; Lord Rosebery...Thousands of people enthusiastically cheered the sovereigns, who graciously bowed their acknowledgments. Queen Wilhelmina was naturally the cynosure of all eyes, and deported herself with a dignity which impressed everyone the more because of her very youthful appearance...at Victoria Station, a brilliant circle of royal and noble personages bade farewell to our two distinguished visitors, who have made many friends with members of the royal family. The Prince and Princess of Wales and their daughters, the Duke and Duchess of York, the Duchess of Albany, the Dutch Minister, the Earl of Rosebery, Lord Carrington, Sir Horace Rumbold, Jonkheer John May, Dutch Consul-General, and Mr. Maas, Dutch Consul, were among the throng assembled on the platform. The Queens were greeted with the familiar notes of the national air, "Wilhelmus van Nassauwen," as they reached Victoria and alighted from the carriage...The train ran out of the station amid loud cheers'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
