A royal attire
This Windsor uniform was introduced by King George III in 1777, as comfortable day wear for his own use. It was also worn by other male members of the Royal Family, certain Royal Household officials, and later, in a modified form by Queen Victoria.
In 1833, King William IV issued a Royal Warrant affording the Major and Adjutant the privilege of wearing the Windsor uniform. And, by the Army Dress Regulations of 1874, the Windsor uniform was prescribed to all officers of the Royal Hospital.
As it was designed for wear by both civilians and military officers, no rank is worn; a peculiarity that persists to this day. It is still in use by the Royal Family, however through time it has evolved into the version currently worn by HM King Charles III. The Royal Hospital has retained the original version assigned to it for use in 1833.
