1883 1938 Alexandra Arthur Connaught Cousin Duchess Fife Portman
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph, the Duchess of Fife, Alexandra, is seen leaving her London home at Portman Square on the day of her wedding to her second cousin, Prince Arthur of Connaught. The year is 1883, and the air is filled with excitement and anticipation as the young bride prepares to embark on a new chapter in her life. Dressed in an elegant bridal gown and veil, Alexandra looks radiant and confident as she steps out of the grand Portman Square residence, surrounded by a crowd of well-wishers and members of the press. Her husband-to-be, Prince Arthur, waits for her in an open carriage, dressed in full military regalia as a Lieutenant-General in the British Army. The Connaughts' wedding was a highly anticipated event in British society, as the couple were not only close relatives but also members of the royal family. Alexandra's mother, Princess Louise, was the sixth child and third daughter of Queen Victoria, while Prince Arthur was the third son of the Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. The wedding ceremony took place at St. James's Palace in London, followed by a reception at Buckingham Palace. The newlyweds then set off on a honeymoon tour of Scotland, where they were warmly welcomed by the people of Fife, the area where Prince Arthur held the title of Duke. This photograph captures a moment of history, as the Duchess of Fife, with a graceful wave and a smile, begins her journey to join her husband and become the Duchess of Fife and Countess of Southesk. The image is a testament to the grandeur and tradition of royal weddings, as well as the enduring bond between the British monarchy and its people.
