EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, His Royal Highness Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, is captured in the idyllic gardens of his beloved home, Villa Bruyeres, situated on the picturesque Cap Ferrat peninsula near Nice in the French Riviera. The Duke, who was the youngest son of Queen Victoria, was a frequent visitor to the region during his later years, drawn to its captivating beauty and Mediterranean climate. The image portrays the Duke in relaxed attire, sitting on a garden bench, surrounded by lush greenery, vibrant flowers, and the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea glistening in the background. The serene expression on his face conveys a sense of contentment and peace, as if he has found solace in the tranquility of his surroundings. Villa Bruyeres, with its elegant architecture and stunning location, served as the Duke's retreat from the formalities of royal life. The property, which he had acquired in 1902, was renowned for its exquisite gardens, designed by the renowned landscape architect, Ferdinand Bac, and featured a variety of exotic plants and trees from around the world. The Duke's connection to the French Riviera extended beyond his personal enjoyment. He played an instrumental role in promoting the region as a popular destination for international tourists, contributing significantly to its growth and development as a world-renowned resort. This photograph, taken in 1922, captures a moment of respite for the Duke amidst the beauty and splendor of his cherished villa and gardens.
