One of a suite of rooms probably created specifically for the daughters and grand-daughters of the 9th Viscount, this room has been known as the Prince's Room ever since the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, slept here in 1868. Twenty-six years later it was refurnished as a sitting room for the Duchess of York, later Queen Mary, when she and her husband, the future King George V, stayed at Temple Newsam for several days while opening the new University Medical School. It now has a reproduction of the Regency paper hung in the adjoining lobby and which forms a background to some of the Old Master paintings.
