1. Title: "Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (1850-1942) - A Devoted Son and Loyal Brother" 2. Caption: This evocative black-and-white photograph captures Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (1850-1942), the third son of Queen Victoria, in his later years. The image, taken during the Edwardian era, showcases the Duke's regal bearing and distinguished appearance. Born on May 1, 1850, at St. James's Palace, London, Arthur was the third child and the fifth son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. He was educated at home and later served in the British Army, reaching the rank of Field Marshal. In 1879, Prince Arthur married Princess Louise Marguerite of Prussia, the eldest daughter of Kaiser Wilhelm I, in a grand ceremony held at St. James's Palace. The marriage produced three children: Princess Patricia, Princess Margaret, and Prince Arthur. Prince Arthur's life was marked by his deep loyalty to his mother, Queen Victoria, and his dedication to the British monarchy. He served as the Governor-General of Canada from 1911 to 1916, during which time he and his wife undertook extensive tours of the country to promote unity and strengthen the bond between Canada and the United Kingdom. Upon his return to the UK, Prince Arthur continued to support the monarchy, representing the King and Queen at various events and functions. He was also a patron of numerous charities and organizations, demonstrating his commitment to serving the people. This photograph, taken in the late Victorian or early Edwardian period, offers a glimpse into the life of a devoted son and loyal brother, who played an essential role in the British monarchy and left a lasting impact on the history of Canada.
