EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Princess Alexandra of Connaught, Duchess of Fife (1891-1959) is depicted in formal attire, exuding an air of regal elegance and sophistication. The Princess, who was the elder daughter of Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife, inherited the dukedom in her own right following her father's tragic death at Aswan in 1912. Born on December 31, 1891, Alexandra was known as Princess Arthur of Connaught after her marriage to her cousin, Prince Arthur of Connaught, in 1913. The couple's union was a significant one, as it marked the first time that a British princess had married a member of the Canadian Royal Family. This portrait, taken in 1918, captures the Princess in her prime. Her dark hair is styled in an elegant updo, adorned with a delicate headpiece that adds a touch of refinement to her look. Her piercing gaze is fixed on the camera lens, conveying a sense of confidence and strength. The Princess's formal attire, consisting of a high-necked blouse and a long, flowing skirt, further emphasizes her regal status. Alexandra's life was marked by tragedy and loss, as well as by her dedication to her royal duties. She was a patron of various charities and organizations, and played an active role in supporting her husband's military career. The Princess passed away on December 2, 1959, leaving behind a legacy as a beloved member of the British and Canadian Royal Families. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable woman, whose strength, grace, and dedication continue to inspire us today. It serves as a reminder of the rich history and traditions of the British monarchy, and the important role that its members have played in shaping the world around us.
