Unusual Entertainment for the Prince Regent

Taken from The Lady’s Magazine, or Entertaining Companion for the Fair Sex; Appropriated Solely to their Use and Amusement. Vol. 47. - 1816:

"On the Prince Regent's return from Lady Heathcote's route, his carriage being called, the carriage of some nobleman being near the door would not draw back, and a grand fracas took place between the gentlemen of the whip for nearly five minutes.  His Royal Highness had the pleasure of standing at the door during this novel entertainment"

I wonder if bets were laid?!

It also would probably have been better for his health if the Prince Regent had tried a more modern form of transport ....
