Louise, Princess Royal and Duchess of Fife VA, CI (Louise

Victoria Alexandra Dagmar; 20 February 1867 – 4 January 1931) was the third

child and the eldest daughter of the British king Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark;

she was a younger sister of George V. She was the eldest granddaughter

of Christian IX of

Denmark. In 1905, her father gave her the title of Princess Royal, which is usually bestowed on the

eldest daughter of the British monarch if there is no living

holder (e.g. the monarch's sister, designated in the previous reign). Princess Louise was born at Marlborough House, the London residence of her

parents, then the Prince and Princess of Wales (later

King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra). She spent much of her childhood at Sandringham House, her parents' country estate

in Norfolk. Like her sisters, Princesses Victoria and Maud, she received limited formal education. She

was baptised at Marlborough House on 10 May 1867 by Charles Longley, Archbishop of

Canterbury. She and her sisters, Maud and Victoria, were

bridesmaids at the wedding of their paternal aunt Princess

Beatrice, to Prince Henry of

Battenberg in 1885. On Saturday 27 July

1889, Princess Louise married Alexander

Duff, 1st Duke of Fife, at the Private Chapel in Buckingham Palace.[4] Two days after the wedding, Queen Victoria created him Duke of Fife and Marquess of Macduff in

the Peerage of the

United Kingdom. The letters patent creating this dukedom contained

the standard remainder to heirs male of the body lawfully begotten. However, it

became apparent that the Duke and Duchess would not have a son. Therefore, on

24 April 1900, Queen Victoria signed letters patent creating a second Dukedom

of Fife, along with the Earldom of Macduff in the Peerage of the United Kingdom

with a special remainder: in default of a male heir, these peerages would pass

to the daughters of the 1st Duke and then to their male descendants.

The Duke and Duchess of Fife had three children:

·         Alastair Duff, Marquess of Macduff, stillborn 16

June 1890

·         Her Royal Highness Princess

Alexandra, 2nd Duchess of Fife (Alexandra Victoria Alberta

Edwina Louise; 17 May 1891 – 26 February 1959), married her first cousin once removed, Prince Arthur of

Connaught (13 January 1883 – 12 September 1938), and had issue.

·         Her Highness Princess

Maud of Fife (Maud Alexandra Victoria Georgina Bertha; 3 April

1893 – 14 December 1945) married the 11th

Earl of Southesk, and had issue.

On 9 November 1905, King Edward VII created Princess Louise

the Princess Royal, the

highest honour bestowed on a female member of the royal family. At the same

time, the King declared that the two daughters of the Princess Royal would be

styled as princesses, with precedence immediately after all members of the

royal family bearing the style of "Royal Highness". In December 1911,

while sailing to Egypt, the Princess Royal and

her family were shipwrecked off the coast of Morocco. Although they escaped unharmed, the

Duke of Fife fell ill with pleurisy, probably

contracted as a result of the shipwreck. He died at Assuan, Egypt in January

1912, and Princess Alexandra succeeded to his dukedom, becoming Duchess of Fife

in her own right. Princess Alexandra later married Prince Arthur of

Connaught, a first cousin of Princess Louise. Princess Louise

of Wales received the Royal

Order of Victoria and Albert in 1885 and the Imperial Order of the

Crown of India in 1887. She became a Lady of the Venerable Order

of St John of Jerusalem (LJStJ) in 1888 and a Dame Grand Cross

(GCStJ) of that order in 1929. She became colonel-in-chief of the 7th Dragoon Guards

(the Princess Royal's Own) in 1914. She later served as colonel-in-chief of the

4th and 7th Dragoon Guards when it was formed in 1921. In the autumn of 1929 at

Mar Lodge she was taken ill with gastric hemorrhage and was brought back to

London. The Princess Royal died fifteen months later in January 1931, at her

home in Portman Square,

London, at the age of 63 and was buried in St.

George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. Her remains were later removed to

the Private Chapel,

Mar Lodge, Braemar, Aberdeenshire.
