The flag was sold by Olympia Auctions in their 20th Century Militaria Auction on 18th March 2015 with the following provenance: John Walter Edward Douglas-Scott-Montagu, 2nd Baron Montagu of Beaulieu (10 June 1866 - 30 March 1929), Palace House Beaulieu. Emperor Wilhelm II Excerpt from John Montagu of Beaulieu, Motoring Pioneer and Prophet by Paul Tritton .... he had been host to Wilhelm II at Beaulieu, when he had the doubtful privilege of gaining a personal impression of the German Emperor's arrogance and egotism. The occasion was one of Wilhelm's periodic visits to England during the years when he was trying to win friends and influence people, with the aim of preventing Germany from becoming isolated among the power blocs of Europe. Wilhelm stayed at Highcliffe Castle, on the Hampshire coast, in December 1907 and decided at short notice to visit nearby Beaulieu. Montagu and the Kaiser did have one thing in common: an interest in motoring: during the previous two years Wilhelm had bought no less than seventeen cars. Perhaps it was his uncle, King Edward, who suggested that he should call on Britain's leading motoring spokesman. Whoever it was who initiated the meeting, Montagu barely had time to return to Palace House from London in time to greet the Kaiser, and he committed what the Emperor considered to a social gaffe by wearing casual clothes. A photograph taken at the entrance to Palace House clearly shows a stern Kaiser standing squarely on a newly unrolled red carpet, with a serge-suited and bowler-hatted John Montagu standing at his side. Whilst clearly not sufficiently insulted to lose an opportunity to be photographed, Wilhelm left Beaulieu in Teutonic high dudgeon in one of the four Daimlers that had been provided for his party. True to form he turned the occasion into a diplomatic incident by complaining to King Edward about Montagu's mode of dress; presumably he had expected his host to greet him in military uniform. A few days later the Foreign Office asked John for his comments; he replied by saying that since in the past he had worn similar attire when receiving the King of England, what was acceptable to Edward VII was surely appropriate for Wilhelm II;
