Duke of Connaught A Storied Career In Canada And Britain
A lengthy profile surveys the Duke of Connaught from his youth in Canada during the Fenian raids to his later roles in Ireland and Britain. It highlights his soldierly skill, leadership style, and charm, his ambivalence toward purely figurehead duties, and his enduring popularity in both military and royal circles. It notes his marriage to Louise of Prussia, his era of service in the Egyptian campaign and later the Mediterranean command, and his family’s social prominence among British and American circles.
