WHEN KINGS TRAVEL.
FECULIAR FRIVILEGES EDWARD VIL

The fact that the King has been to Germany, and will shortly visit Denmark and perhaps Homburg, is an indication that he is likely to be as great a traveller as the late Queen, who was probably out of her kingdom more often than any other moguch of modern timės,
When the King Travels besite privileges under international law that no subjeci, however illustrious, is allowed. Under the law of extra territoriality he, as it were, carries his kingdom with him wherever he goes. No law can touch him. Should be refuse to pay his hotel bill he could not be sued in court for it.

The power and agence which Lord Castletown's family have enjoyed for centuries is due almost entirely to the fact that one of their ancestors was whipping boy "to Edward VI.
