His Royal aighness Prince Arthur
William Patrick Albert, Duke of Con-
naught, and Princess Louise Marga-
ret Alexandra Victoria Agnes, Duch-
ess of Connaught, will celebrate to-
day the thirty-fourth anniversary of
their marriage. The Duchess was
born in 1850, the daughter of Prince
Frederick Charles of Prussia, and was
a beautiful girl of eighteen when she
became the bride of the Duke, who is
nearly ten years her senior. The Ca
madam Governor General is the sew
cath of Queen Victoria's children, who
were nine in number, four of whom
still live. Two serious illnesses have
threatened the life of the Duchess
since her arrival in Canada in Octo..
Der, 1911. and for this reason the
Duke has decided to reIinqulsh his
post at the expiration Of his term next
Autumn.
The Duke and Duchess have three
children. The eldest, Margaret Vic
torta Augusta Charlotte Moran, is
now thirty-one. She was married
eight years ago to Crown Prince Gus
tav Ado1ph of Sweden. a great-great-
grandson of Marshal Bernadotte,
founder of the present Swedish royal
house. She is the mother of three
sons and daughter. Prince Ar
thur Frederick Patrick Albert, only
son of the Duke and Duchess of Con-
naught, is now in his thirty-h first year.
He has been prominently mentioned
as his fathers successor as Governor
General of Canada, but the proposal
has not met with a. great deal of en-
thusiasm either in government cir
cles at London or In the Dominion.
His youth and the fact that he is a
bachelor are against his appointment,
although he is a young man of mark
ed ability and highly popular
throughout the empire. The baby
Of the Connaught family is the Prin-
cess Victoria Patricia Helen Elizabeth,
often referred to affectfonately as
Princess Pat" She is now nearing
her twenty-seventh birthday which
falls on Monday next, st. Patriek's
Day.
