Queen Alexandra was not the only keen photographer in the British Royal Family, Louise-Margaret, Duchess of Connaught also enjoyed taking photographs of her family. I love the ones of her children learning to swim at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Princess Patrica of Connaught was attached to a sailor for safety while her sister and father watched on. I also love the photograph of Queen Alexandra which makes her look like she is doing the robot. 📸:RCT ©️King Charles III #kingedward #kingedwardvii #edwardvii #queenalexandra #queenalexandrafashiontimeline #alexandraofdenmark #princessalexandra #princessofwales #duchessofconnaught #dukeofconnaught #patriciaofconnaught #princesspatricia #princesspatriciaofconnaught #princearthur #dukeofconnaught #princearthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #kinggeorgev #georgev #princeofwales #queenmaudofnorway #maudofnorway #princessmaudofwales #maudofwales #queenmaud #margaretofconnaught #princessmargaretofconnaught #crownprincessmargareta #kronprinsessanmargareta #crownprincessmargaret #princealbertedward #princessvictoria
Another letter from Crown Princess Maragreta which I really liked, I hope you are enjoying the letters please do let me know xx❤️ ‘Stockholm Nov. 10th 1913. My dear Leonie… How are you? Did you have a pleasant time in Paris? We are all very flourishing and have up to the present enjoyed the most wonderful weather which is rather a boon in this northern climate, the winters are long enough without their beginning in October as they sometimes do. It is nice for the children too. They can be out so much more. As the winter goes on and they have to be kept in a lot they get so pale and pasty, it is quite sad. Can you imagine me having to prepare lessons with both the boys every morning! We breakfast at Nine and a quarter of an hour after I begin reading with them, first the one and then the other, it often takes till 10! and I do alittle with them in the evenings too. They each have a class up here at the castle of seven children each, boys and girls and they enjoy it immensely and feel very full of importance about it. They do two hours a da, not counting the time it takes them to prepare their lessons with me. What amuses them most is when I dont know a word in Swedish that they do, they think there is no joke funnier than that! Sometimes they say to me Mummie you cant know this or that because you were not always here!.. From yours affectionately Daisy Citation and 📸: in comments #crownprincessmargareta #princessmargaret #princessmargaretofconnaught #margaretofconnaught #crownprincessmargaret #kronprinsessan #kronprinsessanmargareta #kinggustaf #kinggustafviadolf #gustafviadolf #princearthur #princearthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #dukeofconnaught #queeningrid #queeningridofdenmark #dronningingrid #ingridofsweden #prinsessaningrid #patriciaofconnaught #aliceofhesse #grandduchessalicemaudmary #grandduchessaliceofhesse #aliceofhesse #princeleopold #princeleopolddukeofalbany #princesshelena #princealbert #saxecoburgandgotha #princealfred #princealfredofedinburgh #princessmaryprincessroyal
This letter was written by Princess Margareta to a close family friend during her stay at her parent’s home Bagshot Park. I know I keep saying this but Margareta’s handwriting combined with her love of abbreviations which I have replaced the abbreviations with the proper words, makes her letters hard to decipher so if I have made any mistakes please forgive me and hopefully, as I familiarise myself with her writing it will be easier for me to transcribe. I would like to personally thank whoever suggested she buy a typewriter as it makes transcribing her correspondence so much easier: ‘Sunday Dear Mrs Leslie It is really too kind of you to have sent Baby such a beautiful “rattle”, thank you so very much for it, he enjoys it very much indeed & flourishes it about in people’s faces - He is getting more adorable & attractive every day! I hope you wont have died of heat on your journey, here we are all more or less flattened out with it even, Papa says it really is hot - Thora has been staying here for the last few days which has been very nice indeed we leave the week of the 15th, having enjoyed ourselves here quite enormously, I’m so glad Gustaf has had a chance of seeing quite a lot of this part of the world. Next year we’ll try and come over a little earlier so as to see you people in London-… With love & again so many thanks for Baby’s present which he very much appreciated Believe me yours affectionately Margaret’ Citation- Leslie, Leonie.

This is letter from Princess Margaret of Connaught dated March 10th 1905, following her engagement to Prince Gustaf Adolf please note that I have done my best to decipher Margaret’s writing but as she admits her handwriting is untidy and I may have misread some parts and … is used for words I can’t make out : ‘My dear Mrs Leslie How can I thank you enough for your very dear letter & good wishes you sent me for which I am deeply grateful. I am so intensely truly happy that I can hardly yet realize what it all means, & as I think it all over again & again I wonder if it can be really true not a beautiful dream that will vanish away! God has indeed been very good to me!! As you say Egypt was an ideal place for a courtship & we both have grown very fond of it & mean to go back as soon as we can - I do hope you will soon make Gustaf’s acquaintance & I think you’ll like him… he’s not really a bit good looking & has to wear glasses which hide his nice dark blue eyes, he’s a good bit taller than me & very thin - fond of music, & pictures & all sorts of nice things, in fact he just suits me down to the ground & I think myself an extraordinarily fortunate girl - The only cloud in my otherwise cloudless sky is Mama being so sad at my going & Patsy & Arthur, I’ afraid they are very miserable & I don’t know what to do but I know I can trust you to try & cheer up Mama who feels it dreadfully - again many many thanks for your very kind letter… love from Patsy & myself Belive me dear Mrs Leslie Yours very sincerely Margaret. Forgive this untidy note but I have 53 letters to answer !!

Prince Arthur, 1st Duke of Connaught was born on the 1st of May 1850 at Buckingham Palace, Arthur would become Queen Victoria’s favourite son and while his birthday may not always have been happy he appears to have celebrated his 21st birthday in style: ‘A splendid morning. — Dear Arthur’s 21rst birthday. He was serenaded by the Band of the 99th. My thoughts were with my dearest Albert, who had been so delighted at the birth of our little 3rd Boy on the dear old Duke of Wellington’s birthday. And my warmest prayer were offered up that this dear good boy might continue as good, pure, unspoilt & amiable, now that he his own master, as he has been hitherto. How I trust & hope he may realise all these wishes for him! Gave dear Arthur a nosegay of lilies of the valley & took him into his father’s room, where his presents were spread out. The Band played during & a little after breakfast, then we walked out & Arthur planted a tree in the pleasure grounds, where many others are… Was photographed after luncheon with Arthur… At 6 went with my Children to the tent, where the Ladies & Gentlemen & people were all assembled for a dance I gave in honour of the day, to all the servants & people on the estate… Country Dances, Polkas, Valses, & a Reel were danced before dinner & the people were rather bashful. We went in at ½ p. 7. Only the 3 children Ernest L., Lilah C., Janie E. & Col: Elphinstone dined… At ½ p. 9 we went out to the tent & remained till midnight. There was much more animation in the dancing then. — Citation see comments 📸: RCT #queenvictoria #queenvictoriaofengland #queenvictoriaoftheunitedkingdom #princearthur #princearthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #dukeofconnaught #princealbert #saxecoburggotha #princealbertofsaxecoburgandgotha #vicbert #victoriaandalbert #princeconsort #theprinceconsort #princeleopold #dukeofalbany #princeleopolddukeofalbany #princessvictoria #victoriaadelaidemarylouisa #victoriaprincessroyal #vickyprincessroyal #grandduchessalice #grandduchessalicemaudmary #aliceofhesse #princessmargaretofconnaught #margaretofconnaught #crownprincessmargareta #patriciaofconnaught #princesslouise #princesslouiseduchessofargyll #duchessofargyll
Born on this day: Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (1850-1942), a son and second last surviving child of Queen Victoria #princearthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #houseofsaxecoburgandgotha #houseofwindsor
Following the death of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria was determined to mould their son Prince Leopold into a miniature version of Prince Albert because Leopold shared Albert’s love of studying and the natural sciences, however, Queen Victoria decided to isolate Leopold leaving him lonely and frustrated. Queen Victoria was terrified that the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred would corrupt Prince Leopold this was because her views on Leopold’s illness were clouded by Victorian sentimentality. Victoria insisted that Leopold could not visit the Prince of Wales in his rooms without her consent, after all the Prince of Wales did teach Alfred how to smoke… Worst of all, Victoria refused to allow Leopold to follow Arthur to Greenwich as their father had intended; naturally, this made Leopold miserable and caused him to resent his mother. Leopold had always looked up to Arthur and desperately wanted to copy him. Instead, Queen Victoria decided that Leopold would remain at home and work as her assistant in the same way that Prince Albert had done during his lifetime. As Princess Beatrice had been selected as her mother’s companion, the Queen naively hoped that they would provide each other with all the company that they needed. Unfortunately, Victoria failed to appreciate how much Leopold resented her blatant favouritism of his little sister. It is hardly surprising that Prince Leopold struggled from depression especially when he injured himself and faced death repeatedly but it says a lot about his character that he never lost his sense for adventure. 📸:RCT #princeleopold #princeleopolddukeofalbany #dukeofalbany #vicbert #vicbertedit #queenvictoria #queenvictoriaoftheunitedkingdom #queenvictoriaofengland #victoriaregia #princealbert #princealbertofsaxecoburgandgotha #albertofsaxecoburgandgotha #princearthur #dukeofconnaught #princearthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #kingedwardvii #edwardvii #princealbertedward #princeofwales #princealfred #princesslouise #duchessofargyll #louiseduchessofargyll #princesslouiseduchessofargyll #princessvictoria #victoriaadelaidemarylouisa #aliceofhesse #princessalice #grandduchessalicemaudmary #alicemaudmary
Royal Confession I think that Prince Arthur and his wife Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia may be one of my favourite Royal couples. When Margaret Louise arrived in England prior to her wedding she was met by her fiancé who was carrying two bouquets. Arthur presented his future mother-in-law with a bouquet of roses while he gave his fiancée with a bouquet of violets and in case this was not romantic enough, Arthur wore violets in his buttonhole as he knew that violets were her favourite flower. The royal couple were married on the 13th of March 1879 and when asked if he thought that marrying on the 13th was unlucky Prince Arthur replied ‘No day that gave me my wife could possibly be anything but lucky.’ 📸:RCT ( Aston, George.

Queen Victoria’s favourite son was Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Stathearn and she did not try to hide it! In a letter to her uncle King Leopold she shamelessly compared Prince Arthur with his little brother Prince Leopold. 🫣🫣🫣 ‘To leave Arthur behind… gives me a great pang, for he is not only so lovely & engaging, but so sensible and so clever & such a good little Child - that it is a delight to have him with you -wch I am sorry to say - os quite the reverse with your poor little name’s Sake - tho’ he is very clever & (when amiably disposed) amusing enough.’ Citation: RA Y101/35; QV to King Leopold, 26 August 1856 quoted in Zeepvat, Charlotte, Prince Leopold, Gloucestershire, Sutton Publishing Limited, 1998, ‘Our Fourth Young Gentleman’ pg 6 #princearthur #princearthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #dukeofconnaught #dukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #queenvictoria #queenvictoriaofengland #queenvictoriaoftheunitedkingdom #victoriaregina #vicbert #princealbert #princealbertofsaxecoburgandgotha #princeconsort #theprinceconsort #princealfred #dukeofedinburgh #princealfredofedinburgh #princeleopold #princeleopolddukeofalbany #dukeofalbany #princessalice #aliceofhesse #aliceofhesseandbyrhine #grandduchessalicemaudmary #princessvicky #victoriaprincessroyal #princesslouise #princesslouiseduchessofargyll #duchessofargyll #princesshelena #princesshelenaoftheunitedkingdom
Growing up Prince Leopold idolised his older brothers especially Prince Arthur despite the fact that everyone around them especially their mother compared them constantly. In a letter to the Queen, the Lady Superintendent of the Royal Nursery, Lady Caroline, wrote that ‘I was nursing little Prince Leopold, when Prince Arthur brought me a great napkin & said I better have it for when he spits! Prince Arthur is very fond of his “Little Brother” & it is very pretty swing him talk to “My Baby” like a little old woman.’ Citation: RA M16/56 : Lady Caroline Barrington to Queen Victoria, 17 September 1853 quoted in Zeepvat, Charlotte, Prince Leopold, Gloucestershire, Sutton Publishing Limited, 1998, ‘Our Fourth Young Gentleman’ pg 5 #queenvictoria #queenvictoriaofengland #queenvictoriaoftheunitedkingdom #victoriaregina #princealbert #princealbertofsaxecoburgandgotha #saxecoburggotha #princeleopolddukeofalbany #princeleopold #dukeofalbany #princearthur #princearthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #dukeofconnaught #vicbert #vicbertedit #princessvictoria #victoriaadelaidemarylouisa #victoriaprincessroyal #empressfriedrich #princessalice #princessaliceoftheunitedkingdom #aliceofhesse #aliceofhesseandbyrhine #alicemaudmary #princesshelena #princesshelenaoftheunitedkingdom #princesslouise #princesslouiseduchessofargyll #duchessofargyll #beatriceofbattenberg

She was also named Colonel-in-Chief of Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, holding the title until her death. Like her sister, she was a great beauty of the time and was seen a desirable candidate on the royal marriage market. However in the end she didn’t marry a foreign royal, she wed future Naval Admiral Alexander Ramsay, son of the 13th Earl of Dalhousie, they wed 27 February 1919. They had one son together. She died 12 January 1974 just shy of her 88th Birthday. #royals #royal #royalsisters #margaretofconnaught #patriciaofconnaught #queenvictoria #princearthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #royalhistory #romanov #romanovfamily #romanovrussia #royalty #britishroyalfamily #romanovs #otma #otmaa #naotmaa

On January 16, 1942 Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught died. He was the last surviving son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert at the time of his death. Many people close to him had died before him, including his sister Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll. Here are some facts about brother and sister: • Prince Arthur died at the age of 91 years, 8 months and 16 days, the same age as Louise, who had died two years and one month before. • Louise was a gifted artist and made a white marble bust of her brother (4th slide) • Although Leopold was actually Louise's favorite brother, she had an equally cordial relationship with Arthur. The two wrote letters to each other throughout their lives. • The siblings visited each other frequently and enjoyed reminiscing about old times when they were together. During their conversations, it was noticeable that both spoke with a very strong German accent and it was almost impossible to understand them. It seemed to those present that Louise and Arthur spoke a completely different language only they could understand.

Prince Arthur (1850-1942) Inscribed 1853 Oil on canvas Description Prince Arthur (1850–1942) was the third son and seventh of the nine children of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. He had a career in the army and became Governor-General of Canada. Here the three-year-old Prince is depicted in uniform, with a musket. The uniform is stated to be that of a Lieutenant in the 1st Foot Guards, but the shoulder-strap plate and the arrangement of the buttons on the cuffs are those of the 3rd, or Scots Fusilier, Guards. The uniform was passed on to Prince Arthur’s son, ‘Little Arthur’, who appeared in it at tea on 6 March 1885. The uniform was ‘too tight for him, though the former wore it when he was 3’, according to Queen Victoria’s notes in her Journal. Inscribed on the back with the names of the artist and sitter and the date, July 1853. ~ 🎨: © Franz Xaver Winterhalter • • • #PrinceArthur #PrinceArthurDukeOfConnaught #PrinceArthurDukeOfConnaughtAndStrathearn #DukeOfConnaught #DukeOfConnaughtAndStrathearn #VictorianEra #RoyalCollectionTrust #FranzXaverWinterhalter #FootsGuards #ScotsFusilierGuards #1853 #History #likealways #likeforlikes #likeforlikeback #likeall

The First of May 1851 Queen Victoria holds her third son, Prince Arthur, as he is presented with a jewel casket by his godfather, Arthur, Duke of Wellington. In return the child hands over a nosegay of lily of the valley, a flower traditionally given as a good luck charm on 1 May, especially in France, to mark the arrival of spring. Prince Albert, wearing field-marshal's uniform with the badge of the Golden Fleece and the ribbon and star of the Garter, stands behind, looking towards the Crystal Palace in the distance. The picture commemorates a date of threefold significance: the first birthday of the infant Prince Arthur, the eighty-second birthday of the Duke, and the opening day of the Great Exhibition.

Queen Victoria with Prince Arthur (1850) The setting for this intimate portrait of the Queen with her third son, Prince Arthur, who was only a few months old, was the Upper Terrace, designed by Prince Albert and Ludwig Gruner to take advantage of the views over the Solent. Queen Victoria wrote, 'Little Arthur is a magnificent baby & begins to sit up very nicely." (Journal, 22 July, 1850). Several years later in a revealing letter to her husband, she wrote of Prince Arthur, 'This Child is dear, dearer than any of the others put together, thus after you he is the dearest and most precious object to me on Earth' Artist: Franz Xaver Winterhalter Source: Royal Collection Trust #queenvictoria #queenofuk #empressofindia #queenoftheunitedkingdom #queenvictoriaofengland #queenvictoriaoftheunitedkingdom #princessvictoriaofkent #queenalexandrinavictoria #alexandrinavictoria #victoriaofkent #queenvictoriafacts #queenvictoriaoftheunitedkingdomandirland #britishroyalty #britishhistory #britishroyalfamily #princearthur #princearthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #dukeofconnaught #princearthurdukeofconnaught #arthurdukeofconnaughtandstrathearn #connaughtandstrathearn #princearthuroftheuk #painting #portrait #art #portraitofprince #portraitofchildren #franzxaverwinterhalterpainting #franzxaverwinterhalter #franzxaverwinterhalterportrait
