There is some debate who this figure portrays, Alfred or the Prince of Wales? I believe it to be the later as the source for the figure is a closer resemblance.

A very fine diminutive figure of the Prince of Wales standing on a circular yellow lined base, with both hands in his pockets, wearing a boater and sailor’s uniform. This figure is decorated in the manner of Thomas Parr. Based on a portrait painted by Winterhalter in 1846, a Christmas present to the Prince Consort, published in ‘The London illustrated News on the 14th October 1848. This example is unrecorded in this size, they have been found 6.25, and 12.5 inches high, it is in excellent condition.
