In the winter of 1746 the Prince and the Duke met at the Hague to arrange the details of the ensuing campaign. The British part of the allied army was commanded by the Duke of Cumberland. The Prince of Orange, was elevated to the Stadt Holderate and placed at the Head of the Dutch army. He was not familiar with military tactics and was jealous of his more experienced brother-in-law. Therefore serious disagreements soon developed between him and the Duke.
