Prince Henry of Prussia, who currently commands the German manoeuvring squadron in Irish waters, will pay an official visit to the Cork International Exhibition next Thursday, accompanied by his uncle, the Duke of Connaught, who serves as the Commander-in-Chief in Ireland. In addition to their military functions, the Duke will open a Soldiers’ Home in Limerick and inaugurate a bridge in Cork, after which he will spend a night on Prince Henry’s flagship at Castletown, Berehaven. The pair will then proceed to visit the Cork exhibition before concluding their official engagements.
