"During the 1845-52 Irish Potato Famine (...) the Ottoman sultan declared that he was ready to send £10,000 to help Ireland's farmers. Queen Victoria (...) asked that the sultan send no more than £1,000, since she herself had sent only £2,000. He complied, to spare her embarrassment, but in secret also sent five ships laden with food."
