Image description

George IV is here shown wearing the uniform of the 10th Light Dragoons, a regiment of which he was immensely proud to be Colonel-Commandant, from 1793 until 1820. He found the uniform particularly attractive and was depicted wearing it in two paintings by Beechey. A further picture by George Stubbs commemorates the future George IV's association with the regiment, but does not include his portrait. It is possible that this miniature was undertaken to mark the Prince's appointment as Colonel-Commandant. The riband and star of the Order of the Garter are worn over the uniform, together with a white cross belt decorated with Prince of Wales's feathers.
