"The Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert Returning from a Fox Chase" is an 18th-century satirical print by the English artist Robert Dighton (1752–1814). The artwork humorously depicts George, Prince of Wales, later King George IV, and his companion, Maria Fitzherbert, whom he illegally married in a secret ceremony in 1785. As a caricaturist, Dighton was known for his humorous takes on contemporary society and figures of the Georgian era.

The print is a reflection of the scandalous relationship between the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert, which was a subject of public fascination and gossip. Despite the marriage being considered invalid under the Royal Marriages Act 1772, as it had not been approved by King George III, the relationship was a popular topic for caricaturists and the press. Dighton's work captures the pair in a moment of leisure, likely commenting on their lifestyle and the Prince's well-known indulgences.

The composition of the print showcases Dighton's skill in portraiture and caricature, with exaggerated features and expressions that convey both the personalities of the subjects and the artist's critical perspective. The scene is set against the backdrop of a fox hunt, a pastime associated with the aristocracy, further emphasizing the social status and privileged lives of the subjects.

As with many of Dighton's works, "The Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert Returning from a Fox Chase" would have been circulated among the public as a popular form of entertainment and social commentary. It contributes to the historical understanding of the public's perception of the royal family and the role of satire in 18th-century British art and culture.

The print remains an important example of Georgian satirical art and provides insight into the political and social climate of the time. It is held in various collections and continues to be studied by art historians and scholars interested in the period's visual culture and its intersection with politics and society.
