The Shahzada's Visit: the Shahzada at Aldershot: 4th Hussars in line, 1895. 'Our royal guest, the Shahzada Nasrullah Khan [crown prince of Afghanistan], is certainly experiencing what Emerson terms "the joy of eventful living." The programme of his visit is too long rather than too short, and leaves very little time for the Prince to indulge his own sweet will as to a choice of incidents. He must be impressed by the busy life, if by nothing else, which surges around him. In London a varied panorama of scenes has passed before his impassive gaze, and a series of excursions by road, rail, and river has exhibited different striking illustrations of our national life'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
