Description
English: Wilhelm II in the uniform of an Admiral of the Fleet in the British Royal Navy with the Garter riband and star
This portrait – which was possibly painted from a photograph – relates to an unofficial state visit the Kaiser made to Osborne in 1889, although the painting was executed some years later. The Emperor was escorted to Queen Victoria’s summer residence by a squadron of Imperial German Naval ships and arrived in Cowes in his steam yacht, Hohenzollern, on Friday 2nd August. Since Queen Victoria had made her grandson an Admiral of the British Fleet earlier that year, it appears that the Emperor arrived at Osborne in the uniform associated with that post. In a letter to Sir Edward Mallet, the Kaiser observed: ‘Fancy wearing the same uniform as St. Vincent and Nelson; it is enough to make one quite giddy’ (14 June 1889).
