Alexander Grantham Yorke, and thence by descent The Hon. Alexander Yorke was a son of the 4th Earl of Hardwicke and was a Groom-in-Waiting to Queen Victoria (1884-1901) and Extra Groom in Waiting to King Edward VII (1901-1911). He was a courtier to Queen Victoria and, by popular account, the provoker of the most famous remark in British regal history. He was attending one of the Queen's dinner parties at Windsor Castle and at one point turned to his German neighbour and told him a slightly risqué story. The German, who evidently was pleased easily, burst into near hysterical laughter and began to clutch his sides in riotous appreciation. The Queen then asked to hear the story and, after Yorke had reluctantly repeated it, she delivered her historic riposte: "We are not amused." Condition Report: All in worn condition, showing signs of age and long term storage. Lining of the brocade coat is distressed. Some old moth damage throughout all. All buttons present. Hats are worn but still possess shape and inner lining. Appliques intact. Trousers with heavy surface wear and further moth holes - buttons presentChest size approximately 36-38". Short body.
