...destroyer H. M. S. Wishart, commanded by his cousin Lord Louis Mountbatten. Some years ago Alfonso XIII, then King of Spain, thought the Prince was deliberately insulting him when H. R. H. turned up at a review of the Spanish fleet in civilian grey flannels and a floppy soft hat (TIME, May 16, 1927).
