EDITORS COMMENTS
In this elegant and grand photograph, Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (1850-1942) and Princess Louise of Prussia (1860-1917) are seen exchanging vows during their wedding ceremony on March 13, 1879, at St. George's Chapel in Windsor. The young couple's union marked a significant moment in European royal history, as Louise became the Duchess of Connaught upon her marriage. Born as Luise Margarete of Prussia, Princess Louise underwent an anglicisation of her name to Louise Margaret following her marriage to Prince Arthur. The Duke of Connaught was the third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, making him a grandson of the reigning monarch. The marriage between the British and Prussian royals represented a symbolic union of the two powerful European dynasties. The wedding day was filled with royal custom and tradition. Bridesmaids in long, flowing gowns accompanied the bride as she made her way down the aisle, while the ceremony itself was officiated by the Archbishop of Canterbury. The joyous occasion was attended by numerous members of the British and European royal families, including Queen Victoria herself. The photograph captures the essence of a regal and opulent wedding, with the bride and groom dressed in their finest attire and surrounded by the splendor of St. George's Chapel. The image serves as a testament to the rich history and traditions of European royalty during the late 19th century.
