1882 - Princess Margaret of Connaught was born. She was born at Bagshot Park, now the home of the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, as the first child and eldest daughter of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, son of Queen Victoria, and his wife Princess Louise Margaret of Prussia. She was known as Daisy within the family. Her Grand-daughter Queen Margrethe of Denmark is also known as Daisy.

The Connaught family, with the Crown Prince of Sweden, pose in all their Coronation finery (note the Coronets the Crown Princess and Princess Patricia are holding as Blood Royal Princesses) after attending the 1911 Coronation of King George V.

What a wonderful photograph. We are so lucky to have a record of this occasion. I assume the ladies gowns were white.
