EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming photograph, Prince Arthur of Connaught and his new bride, Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Fife, are shown with their latest addition to their household - a beautiful Collie dog, presented to them as a wedding gift by the London and Provincial Collie Club in 1913. The young couple's marriage took place on March 23, 1913, at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, and was attended by members of the British royal family and aristocracy. The London and Provincial Collie Club, established in 1891, is one of the oldest and most prestigious Collie breed clubs in the United Kingdom. The club's members were thrilled to have the opportunity to present a gift to the newlyweds, and a Collie dog was a fitting choice as it was a breed that was popular with the royal family at the time. Prince Arthur, the third son of King Edward VII, and Princess Alexandra, the eldest daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Fife, were married for just over a year when this photograph was taken. They went on to have three children together - Princess Margaret, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, Princess Patricia, and Prince Alastair. The Collie dog presented to the couple in this photograph is a testament to the deep connection between the royal family and the world of dogs. The breed has a long history of being favored by the British monarchy, with Queen Victoria being an early enthusiast. The Collie's loyalty, intelligence, and striking appearance made it an ideal companion for the royals, and this gift from the London and Provincial Collie Club was a fitting tribute to the happy occasion of Prince Arthur and Princess Alexandra's marriage. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the enduring bond between the British monarchy and the world of dogs, and the joy and excitement that comes with the celebration of a royal wedding.
