Jane, Duchess of Gordon (c.1748-1812, a patron of Robert Burns), argues with the Prince of Wales at a function, to the embarrassment of the attendees. During the Peace of Amiens Jane visited Napoleon in Paris and bought a painted portrait (presumably the miniature around her neck here), leading to a row with the Prince. She then sent a message to the King and Queen that she would not attend the Birthday, but went and was ignored.
