To the King's left is his second son, Frederick, Duke of York, Commander-in-Chief of the Army. Beside him is Lieutenant-General David Dundas, Quartermaster-General. On the extreme right is Major-General Philip Goldsworthy and in the foreground stands General Sir William Fawcett. This painting is a slightly smaller copy of the lost canvas by Sir William Beechey, which was commissioned by the King in 1798 but was destroyed in the fire at Windsor Castle in 1992. There are other versions of this picture without the Prince of Wales and it is clear that he was not included in preliminary sketches. There is even a story that the figure of the Prince was added later at the request of Queen Charlotte which caused the irate King to order the painting to be destroyed.
