Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, was one of the most quietly remarkable figures of the Victorian and Edwardian age.
Queen Victoria had nine children. Her favourite was Arthur. She said so, repeatedly, without apparent embarrassment, and nobody seems to have argued with her. He was born on 1sr of May 1850, the same day (different year) as the Duke of Wellington, who became his godfather. By the time he died, ninety-one years later, he had outlived every one of his siblings, two of his own children, and most of the world he had been born into.
He was a professional soldier for forty years, serving in Gibraltar, Egypt, India, Ireland, and Canada. He rose to the rank of Field Marshal and became the only British Prince ever to serve as Governor General of Canada. He was still turning up to encourage army recruits well into the Second World War when he was in his nineties, and new recruits found him a benign, baffling apparition from another century entirely. He was one of the godparents of the future Queen Elizabeth II. He had been born when her great-great-grandmother was on the throne.
He outlived his wife, his two eldest children, four monarchs, and the British Empire he had served his life. When he died in January 1942, he was the last surviving son of Queen Victoria and had witnessed more history than almost any royal of his generation.
