Note 15 — Chapter III · THE COURT OF QUEEN CAROLINE.
Reading edition
Accidents were not infrequent at these hunting parties. For instance, we read in the newspapers of the day:—
“25th August, 1731.—The Royal Family were hunting, and in the chase a stag started upon the Princess Amelia’s horse, which, being frightened, threw her.
“28th August, 1731.—The Royal Family hunted in Richmond Park, when the Lord Delaware’s lady was overturned in a chaise, which went over but did no visible hurt.”
