The Royal Visit to Cambridge - the Senate-House: "Three Cheers for Denmark!", 1864. Creator: Unknown
The Royal Visit to Cambridge - the Senate-House: "Three Cheers for Denmark!", 1864. The Prince of Wales, (future King Edward VII) attends the conferring of degrees. 'The body of the hall and the galleries were, as usual, crowded with members of the University, and in the reserved seats were the distiguished visitors...Three cheers were given for Lord Palmerston and three hearty rounds of applause for the Prince and Princess...The Chancellor, accompanied by the Vice Chancellor and the Earl of Powis, took his seat upon the dais, and the Princess of Wales was conducted to the chair of state reserved for her. The cheers of the assembly, again and again renewed, poured forth in deafening volume to welcome her to the head-quarters of the University. The Prince of Wales, accompanied by the Duke of Cambridge and the members of the household, all in the scarlet robes of Doctors of Laws, entered shortly afterwards, and his Royal Highness received a welcome almost as enthusiastic as that bestowed upon his consort...The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge were installed Doctors of Laws...the proceedings were brought to a close by the presentation of medals to, and the recitation of prize poems by, successful competitors in the recent examination'. From "Illustrated London News", 1864

**A Regal Welcome: The Royal Visit to Cambridge's Senate-House**
In this historic photograph, taken on a sunny day in June of 1864, the Prince of Wales (future King Edward VII) and his wife, Princess Alexandra of Denmark, are greeted with thunderous applause by the esteemed members of Cambridge University. As part of their royal visit, they attended the conferring of degrees at Senate-House, where three hearty rounds of cheers were given in honor of Lord Palmerston and two more for the Prince and Princess themselves.
The Chancellor, accompanied by his Vice-Chancellor and Earl Powis, took their seats on stage as Princess Alexandra was escorted to her chair. The assembly's enthusiastic applause poured forth like a tidal wave to welcome Her Royal Highness to the University's headquarters. Shortly after, Prince Albert Edward (the future King Edward VII) entered with Duke of Cambridge and members of his household, all dressed in scarlet robes signifying their Doctorates of Laws.
The proceedings culminated with the presentation of medals to successful competitors and recitation of prize poems by students who had excelled in recent examinations. This remarkable photograph captures a pivotal moment in British history, as the royal couple is honored for their visit to Cambridge University's esteemed Senate-House.
