Jerome Bonaparte and Maximilian II, along with their spouses, arrived at the Royal Palace Hall in the center of Munich by carriage, where the nobles waiting inside turned their solemn gazes towards the two majesties as they entered.
At the same time, the band in the hall began to play the national anthem of the French Empire, "Song of Departure."
In the resounding music, Jerome Bonaparte and Maximilian II shook hands in the presence of the nobles, until the "Song of Departure" stopped, then they released their hands.
Immediately after, the band played the "Bavarian Hymn," and Jerome Bonaparte maintained a solemn expression until the song ended.
With the song's conclusion, the band was escorted elsewhere by the palace servants.
