A Royal Hockey Showdown: The Duke and Duchess of Connaught and Their Sporty Daughters This photograph captures a moment in time when the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, along with their daughters, Princess Margaret and Princess Patricia, formed a hockey team to take on Mrs. De Burgh's team at the Royal Hospital in Dublin, Ireland, in 1904. The Duke, who is seen in the center of the image, dons a protective helmet and holds a hockey stick with a determined expression. His wife, the Duchess, stands proudly beside him, also dressed in hockey gear. Their eldest daughter, Princess Margaret, known as Daisy, is shown in the back row, second from the left, wearing a white jersey and a protective pad on her left leg. The youngest daughter, Princess Patricia, later Lady Patricia Ramsey, is in the front row, third from the right, wearing a blue jersey and a helmet adorned with a feather. The team, known as the Connaughts, won the game with a score of four goals to three, demonstrating their impressive athletic abilities and team spirit. The Royal Family's involvement in sports was not uncommon during this era, as they often engaged in various activities to promote physical fitness and connect with their subjects. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the personal lives of the Connaughts and their love for hockey, providing an intriguing historical perspective on the intersection of royalty and sports.
