The young Prince came alone in his midshipman's uniform to

the Castle gate, and was received by its Constable, Mr. Lloyd George, and greeted by the Pursuivants and Heralds, the Arch Druid, the Druids, and the officers of the Gorsedd. After the Prince had been robed came the King, who first in- vested him with his high office and then received his homage. As the Home Secretary read the Letters Patent, the King performed the ceremony. He placed the mantle on the Prince's shoulders, hung the sword round his neck, placed the coronet on his head and the ring epon the third finger

of his left hand, while into his right hand he delivered the golden verge. Then the Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester knelt and did his homage, and "in the sight of all" was kissed on either cheek by his father.
