Henry (1745–1790), Duke of Cumberland and Strathearn, was Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of England, one of two governing bodies of Freemasonry in England in the eighteenth and early nineteenth century, from 1782 until his death in 1790. The Duke of Cumberland was also Grand Patron of Royal Arch Freemasonry, another branch of Freemasonry, from 1774 to 1790. In this portrait he is wearing the robes and regalia of that office. The office of Grand Patron no longer exists and so this regalia is no longer worn.
