Impressive uniform and a nice horse.

Crown Prince William of Germany was appointed colonel-in-chief of the English 11th Hussars in 1911. See www.nam.ac.uk/research/famous-units/11th-hussars-prince-a...

There had been an earlier 1st Hussars regiment in the King's German Legion of the British Army during the Napoleonic War, but I haven't found a 1st Hussars. Perhaps the postcard caption has a typo.

shows this picture under the title "11th (Prince Albert's Own) Hussars" and has a note, "The postcard wrongly states that he's in the uniform of the "1st Hussars". "

he looks like Prince Charles. And Queen Elizabeth.
