On Tuesday evening it was announced that Prince Arthur of
Connaught was betrothed to the Duchess of Fife, and that the King had "gladly given his consent." Prince Arthur, son of the Duke of Connaught, is just over thirty years old, and by universal consent has discharged public and ceremonial duties with notable zeal and success. No prince of the Royal House is more popular. The Duchess of Fife, to whom the dukedom descended by special remainder on the death of her father, the Duke of Fife, last year, is the elder daughter of the Princess Royal. She is therefore first cousin once removed to Prince Arthur of Connaught.
