As the ruler of the world's most powerful nation in 1838, the influence of Victoria's coronation was not limited to within Britain. In fact, as soon as the coronation ceremony plan was formally finalized earlier in the year, the major countries worldwide immediately decided to send envoys to attend the ceremony held on June 28 at Westminster.
Among those who attended, besides the envoys stationed in England from various countries, were the Special Envoy Prince Ligne from the Belgian Kingdom, Count Stroganov from the Russian Empire, Duke of Ossuna from the Kingdom of Spain, Earl Northington from the Kingdom of Sweden, Prince William Maltz Z Putbus from the Kingdom of Prussia, Ahmed Pasha and Ibrahim Salim Pasha from the Ottoman Empire, and others…
However, among all the envoys, the most eye-catching were the two envoys sent by King Louis Philippe of France.
