EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken around 1935, The Duke of Connaught, Prince Arthur, is seen with his granddaughter, Princess Ingrid of Sweden, and her husband, Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark. The Duke of Connaught, born in 1850, was the third son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. He served in the British Army and held various high-ranking positions in the military and government. Princess Ingrid, the Duke's granddaughter, was born in 1910 as the eldest child of Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden and Prince Carl of Sweden. Ingrid married Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark on May 24, 1935, in a grand ceremony held in Stockholm. The wedding was significant as it took place on the 116th anniversary of Queen Victoria's birth, making it a fitting tribute to her legacy. Frederik, who later became King Frederik IX of Denmark in April 1947, is seen here with his wife, Princess Ingrid, who was 21 years old at the time of the photograph. The Duke of Connaught, who was in his late 80s, looked proud and pleased as he stood between his granddaughter and her husband. This photograph captures a special moment in royal history, with three generations of the European monarchy coming together in celebration. The photograph is a reminder of the close connections between the royal families of Sweden and Denmark, as well as the enduring influence of Queen Victoria on European royalty. It is also a poignant reminder of the Duke of Connaught's role as a grandfather and the importance of family ties in the royal world. This image is a valuable historical document, showcasing the elegance and grandeur of royal life in the 1930s. It is a reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape the monarchies of Europe today.
