The Prince!
[The QUEEN bows coldly to the KING.]
KING (equally coldly).
Good morning.
QUEEN (to the PRINCESS).
My dear child, I here present to you the Envoy of the King of England,
Baronet Hotham.
WILHELMINE (bows, speaks aside).
The Prince's friend? How am I to understand all this?
KING.
Pardon me, wife, the Prince of Baireuth should take precedence. My dear child, I present to you here the Prince Hereditary of Baireuth.
