EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures a significant moment in Victorian royal history: the wedding of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, and Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia, which took place on the 13th of March, 1879, at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle. The Duke, who was the third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, is seen here in his full regal attire, while his bride, Princess Louise Margaret, approaches the chapel, escorted by state trumpeters. Born as Luise Margarete of Prussia, the future Duchess of Connaught underwent an anglicisation of her name upon her marriage to Prince Arthur. The ceremony marked the union of the British and Prussian royal families, and the beginning of a lifelong partnership between the couple. The elegant scene depicted in this photograph is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of Victorian royal weddings. The intricate details of the Duke's uniform, the resplendent state trumpeters, and the regal aura surrounding the bride all contribute to the sense of history and tradition that permeates the image. This photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to witness the beauty and grandeur of a bygone era. The marriage of Prince Arthur and Princess Louise Margaret remains an intriguing chapter in the annals of royal history, and this image serves as a poignant reminder of the rich tapestry of stories that make up the lives of our monarchs and their families.
