The portrait by Lafayette of Prince George, Duke of York and Mary Teck, Duchess of York in costume was photogravure #9 in the album presented to the Duchess of Devonshire and now in the National Portrait Gallery.[3] The printing on the portrait says, "H.R.H. The Duke of York, as George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, / H.R.H. The Duchess of York, as a Lady of the Court of Marguerite de Valois," with a Long S in Duchess.[4]

Mary, Duchess of York

[edit | edit source]

At the Duchess of Devonshire's 2 July 1897 fancy-dress ball, Mary of Teck, the Duchess of York was dressed as a person in the court of Marguerite de Valois and sat at Table 3 in the first supper seating.[5]:p. 7, Col 5a

Russell Harris says,

The Duchess, in the entourage of Alexandra, Princess of Wales, was robed as a lady at the court of Marguerite de Valois, a choice most probably influenced by the popularity of Meyerbeer’s opera Les Huguenots and the fact that the Princess of Wales needed six contemporaneous ladies in her entourage. For the role, the Duchess wears a blue satin dress, embroidered with silver, with a high wired lace collar studded with diamonds.

Among the identifiable jewels adorning the costume and the person, and showing the future Queen’s incipient appreciation of jewellery, are the ‘Girls of Great Britain and Ireland’ tiara, diamond and drop pearl earrings, a five-row pearl necklace with the ‘Warwick’ sun brooch attached as pendant; the ‘Ladies of England’ pearl and diamond necklace, a baroque pearl and diamond brooch, a diamond stomacher, the ‘Kensington’ bow brooch; the ‘Dorset’ bow brooch and diamond and pearl bracelets attached to the the cuffs.[6]

Old portrait of a man with a hat whose brim is held back with some kind of ornament and feathers
George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland
Gold Badge of the Order of the Garter
Prince George's costume includes what may be a light blue ribbon around his neck with something like this badge of the Order of the Garter hanging from it.

Prince George of Wales was wearing a ribbon of the Order of the Garter around his neck. Russsell Harris says,

For the Ball, the Duke of York is costumed as “The Queen’s Champion” in the Elizabethan procession. The costume, by Monsieur Alias, a renowned London theatrical costumier, is very closely modelled on a 1590 portrait by the miniaturist Nicholas Hilliard of George Clifford, 3rd Earl of Cumberland (1558-1605) – the champion of Queen Elizabeth I, who played an important part in the destruction of the Spanish Armada and was first Governor of the East India Company. The Duke himself was a navy man and had been married wearing the uniform of a naval captain. Monsieur Alias ensured that the press had detailed costume descriptions for publication informing history that the Duke wears a pourpoint and sleeves of Genoa ciselé velvet embroidered with gold. His trunks are crimson velvet embroidered gold over grey satin. The high grey suede boots are rolled down at the top and in his grey felt hat he the a copy of the jewelled glove given to Cumberland by Queen Elizabeth I. The uncomfortable-looking steel gorget was lined with gold.[6]
