Her Majesty Visits the French Emperor

Visit of the King of the Belgians.

In the month of July her majesty’s uncle, the King of the Belgians, paid her a visit, which excited many political rumours, and attracted much notice throughout Europe.

On the 18th of August her majesty, accompanied by Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales, visited the French emperor.

His imperial majesty, and the people of France, displayed a cordiality of welcome and a tasteful hospitality which rivalled those exhibited in England on the occasion of the emperor’s visit.
