She was a strong proponent of the arts and higher education and of the feminist cause. Her early life was spent moving among the various royal residences in the company of her family.

When her father, the Prince Consort, died on the 14th of December 1861. The court went into a long period of mourning to which, with time, Louise became unsympathetic. Louise was an able sculptor and artist, and several of her sculptures remain today. She was also a supporter of the feminist movement, corresponded with Josephine Butler and visited Elizabeth Garrett before her marriage from 1866 to 1871.

Louise served as an unofficial secretary to her mother, the Queen. The question of Louise’s marriage was discussed in the late 1860’s suitors from the royal houses of prussia and denmark were suggested, but Victoria did not want her to marry a foreign prince and therefore suggested a high-ranking member of the British aristocracy. Despite opposition from members of the royal family, Louise fell in love with John Marquess of Lorne, the heir of the Duke of Argyll Victoria consented to the marriage which took place on the 21st of March 1871.

Despite a happy beginning that too drifted apart, possibly because of their childlessness and the Queen’s constraints on their activities in 1878, Lorne was appointed Governor General of Canada, a post he held 1878 to 1884. Louise was viceregal consort, starting a lasting interest in Canada. Her names were used to name many features in Canada following Victoria’s death in 1901. Louise entered social circle established by her brother, the new King Edward, the seventh Louise’s marriage, survived thanks to long periods of separation, the couple reconciled in 1911 and she was devastated by her husband’s death in 1914.

After the end of the first world war in 1918. At the age of 70, she began to retire from public life, undertaking few public duties outside Kensington Palace, where she died. At the age of 91 part 1 early life. Louise was born on the 18th of March 1848 at Buckingham Palace, London. She was the fourth daughter and sixth child of the reigning British monarch, Queen Victoria, and her husband, Prince Albert of saxe-coburg and Gotha.

Her birth coincided with revolutions, which swept across Europe, prompting the Queen to remark that Louise would turn out to be something peculiar. The Queen’s labor with Louise was the first to be aided with chloroform Albert and Victoria chose the names Louise, a Caroline Alberta. She was baptised on the 13th of May 1848 in Buckingham Palace s, private chapel, by John Bird Sumner, the Archbishop of Canterbury, though she was christened Louisa at the service.

She was invariably known as Louise throughout her life had godparents were Duke Gustav of mecklenburg-schwerin. Her paternal great great uncle, for whom Prince Albert stood proxy, the Duchess of Saxon, for whom her great aunt Queen Adelaide, stood proxy and the hereditary Grand Duchess of mecklenburg-strelitz, her first cousin, once removed, for whom the Duchess of Cambridge stood proxy. During the ceremony, the Duchess of Gloucester, one of the few children of King George, the third who was still alive, forgot where she was and suddenly got up in the middle of the service and knelt at the Queen’s feet.

Much to the queen’s horror like her siblings. Louise was brought up with the strict program of education devised by her father, Prince Albert and his friend and confidant Baron Stockman, the young children were taught practical tasks such as cooking farming, household tasks and carpentry from her early years. Louise was a talented and intelligent child, and her artistic talents were quickly recognized on his visit to Osborn house in 1863, alum Tennyson, the son of the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson, remarked that Louise could draw beautifully because of her royal rank.

An artistic career was not considered, however. The Queen first allowed her to attend art school under the tutelage of the sculptor Mary Thorneycroft and later 1863 allowed her to study at the National Art Training School. Now the Royal College of Art, South Kensington, Louise also became an able dancer and Victoria wrote after a dance that Louise danced the sword dance with more Verve and accuracy Vaughn any of her sisters.

Her wit and intelligence made her a favorite with her father with her inquisitive nature earning her the nickname Little Miss white from other members of the royal family part to secretary Louise’s father, Prince Albert, died at Windsor on the 14th of December 1861. The Queen was devastated and ordered her household to move from Windsor to Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. The atmosphere of the royal court became gloomy and morbid in the wake of the princes death and entertainment became dry and dull.

Louise quickly became dissatisfied with her mother’s, prolonged mourning for her 17th birthday in 1865, Louise requested the ballroom to be opened for a dead dan dance, the like of which had not been performed since Prince Albert’s death. Her request was refused and who bought him with the mundane routine of travelling between the different royal residences at set times irritated her mother, who considered Louise to be indiscreet and argumentative.

The Queen comforted herself by rigidly continuing with Prince Albert’s plans for their children. Princess Alice was married to Prince Lewis, the future Grand Duke of Hesse that was born on the 1st of June 1862 in 1863, Edward the Prince of Wales, married Princess Alexandra of Denmark. The Queen made it a tradition that the eldest and married daughter had become her unofficial secretary, a position which Louise filled in 1866, despite the Queen’s concern that she was indiscreet.

Louise, however, proved to be good at the job Victoria wrote shortly afterwards. She is, and who would some years ago have thought it a clever, dear girl, with a fine, strong character unselfish and affectionate. However, when Louise fell in love with her brother Leopold, scooter the Reverend Robinson Duckworth 14 years of senior between 1866 and 1870, the Queen reacted by dismissing Duckworth in 1870.

He later became canon of Westminster, Abbey Louise was bored at court and by fulfilling her duties, which were little more than minor secretarial tasks such as writing letters on the Queen’s behalf, dealing with political correspondence and providing the queen with company. She had more responsibilities. Part three marriage: chapter 1 suitors as a daughter of the Queen Louise, was a desirable bride more so as she is regarded as the Queen’s most beautiful daughter by both contemporary and modern biographers.

However, she was accused by the press without substantiation of romantic Affairs. This, coupled with her liberalism and feminism, prompted the Queen to find her a husband. The choice had to suit Victoria, as well as Louise and the Queen insisted that her daughter’s husband should live near her, a promise which had also been extracted from the husband of Helena. Louise’s sister various suitors were proposed by the leading royal houses of Europe.

Princess Alexandra proposed her brother, the Crown Prince of Denmark, but the Queen was strongly opposed to another Danish marriage that could antagonize Prussia at a time of diplomatic tension over the schleswig-holstein question, Victoria Louise’s eldest sister proposed that all and rich Prince Albert of Prussia, but Queen Victoria disapproved of another Prussian marriage that would have been unpopular in England, Prince Albert, was also reluctant to settle in England, as required.

William, Prince of Orange was also considered a suitor, but because of his extravagant lifestyle in Paris, where he lived openly with a lover. The Queen quickly vetoed the idea. Louise viewed marriage too many princes and desirable and announced that she wished to marry John Campbell Marquess of Lorne, heir to the dukedom of Argyll. No marriage between a daughter of a monic and a British subject had been given official recognition since 1515, when Charles Brandon 1st Duke of Suffolk married King, Henry the eighth’s sister Mary Louise’s brother, the Prince of Wales, was strongly opposed to a marriage with a non mediatized.

Noble furthermore, Lorna’s father George Campbell was an ardent supporter of william ewart gladstone, and the prince of wales was worried that he would drag the royal family into political disputes. Nevertheless, the opposition was crushed by the queen, who wrote to the Prince of Wales in 1869. The Queen, a vote that Louise’s marriage to a subject would bring new blood into the family, while all European princes were related to each other.

She was convinced that this would strengthen the royal family morally and physically part 3 marriage, chapter 2 engagement and wedding. Louise became engaged to the Marquess of Lorne on the 3rd of October 1870, while they were visiting Balmoral Lorne was invited to Balmoral Castle in Scotland and accompanied Louise, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Hadley, and Queen Victoria’s lady-in-waiting lady Ely, on a drive later that day, Louise returned And announced to the Queen that long had spoken of his devotion to Louise and she accepted his proposal in the knowledge of the Queen’s approval.

The Queen later gave Lady Elia bracelets to mark the occasion. The Queen found it difficult to let go of her daughter confiding. In her journal that she felt painfully the thought of losing her, the new breach in royal tradition caused surprise, especially in Germany and Queen Victoria, wrote to the Queen of Prussia that princes of small impoverished German houses were very unpopular in Britain and that Lord lon, a Person of distinction at home with an independent fortune was really no lower in rank than minor German royalty Victoria settled an annuity on Louise shortly before her marriage.

The ceremony was conducted at since George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle on the 21st of March 1871, and the crowd outside was so large that for the first time, policemen had to form chained barriers to keep control. Louise wore a wedding veil of Honiton lace that she designed herself and was escorted into the chapel by her mother and her two eldest brothers, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh.

On this occasion, the usually severe black of the Queen’s morning dress was relieved by the crimson, rubies and blues of the Garter star following the ceremony, the Queen kissed, Louise and lawn now, a member of the royal family, but still a subject. Kissed the Queen’s hand. The couple then journeyed to Claremont in Surrey for the honeymoon, but the presence of attendants on the journey and at mealtimes made it impossible for them to talk privately, the short for Dave, as it did not pass without an interruption from the Queen.

Who was curious about her daughter’s thoughts on married life among their wedding gifts was a maple with desk from Queen Victoria, now at Inverrary castle, part four viceregal consort of Canada. In 1878, British Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli chose lon to be Canada’s governor-general and he was duly appointed by Queen Victoria. Louise thus became his viceregal consort as viceregal consort. She used her position to support the Arts and higher education and the cause of female equality.

Although she said the subject of domestic economy lies at the root of the highest life of every true woman, but her stay in Canada was unhappy as a result of homesickness dislike of Ottawa and a bad sling accident. Part4 viceregal consort of Canada. Chapter 1: in our specious arrival on the 15th of November 1878, the couple left Liverpool and arrived in Canada for the inauguration at Halifax. On the 25th of November, Louise became the first royal to take up residence in Rideau Hall, officially the Queen’s royal residence in Ottawa.

However, the whole was far from the splendor of British royal residences and as each viceregal couple decorated to the hall with their own furnishings and thus took of em when they departed, the lawns found the palace sparse in decor upon their arrival. Louise put her artistic talents to work and how many of her watercolor and oil paintings around the hall also installing her sculpted works, though the news that a daughter of the Queen would be viceregal consort of Canada first saw a thrill of joy burst upon the Dominion.

It being felt that the princess would be a strong link between Canadians and their sovereign. The arrival of the new governor-general and his wife was not initially welcomed by the Canadian Press, which complained about the imposition of royalty on the country’s hitherto and regal society. Relations with the press further deteriorated when Lorna’s private secretary, Francis D Winton threw for journalists off the Royal Train.

Although the lawns had no knowledge of d-wing Tom’s action, it was assumed by the press that they did and they earned an early refutation of the haughtiness. Louise was horrified by the negative press and when she heard about reports of a nation of flunkies at Vanessa, regal Court taking lessons in the backward walk. Louise declared that she wouldn’t care if they came in blanket coats. A reference to the ubiquitous kaput, a coat made of blanket cloth, both durable and warm the cultural significance of the blanket coat and genteel society with reference to several early governors-general and their wives can be found in very picturesque and very Canadian.

But blanket coat and Anglo Canadian identity in the second half of the nineteenth century by Eileen stack of the McCord Museum of Canadian history. Eventually, the worries of a rigid court at Rideau Hall and the feeble undercurrent of criticism turned out to be unfounded. As the royal couple proved to be more relaxed than their predecessors, part for viceregal, consort of Canada Chapter two Canadian entertainments Louise’s first few months in Canada, were tinged with sadness.

As her favorite sister, the Grand Duchess of Hesse and by Rhine died on the 14th of December 1878. Although homesick over that first Christmas, louise soon grew accustomed to the winter. Climate, sling and skating were two of her favorite pastimes in Canada. As the monix direct representative, lon always took precedence over his wife so that at the opening of the Parliament of Canada on the 13th of February 1879, Louise was ranked no differently from others in attendance.

She had to remain standing with the MPS until known asked them to be seated in order for lawn to meet every Canadian member of parliament he held by weekly dinners for 50 people. However, some of the Canadian ladies responded negatively to the British party. One of her ladies-in-waiting reported that some had an I’m as good as you sort of man II. When one begins a conversation, court entertainments were open.

Anyone who could afford the clothing to attend functions was simply asked to sign the visitors book Louise’s. First, state ball was given on the 19th of February 1879 and she made a good impression on her guests when she ordered to the silk cordon separating the viceregal party from the guests be removed. However, the ball was marred by various mishaps, including a drunken bondsman, nearly starting a fire by pulling a curtain over a gas lamp.

The open house practice was criticized by guests who complained about the low social status of other guests. One attendee was horrified to find the attendees grossly dancing in the same set.

The horses then panicked and dragged the overturned carriage over more than 400 yards 370 meters of ground. Louise was knocked unconscious when she hit her head on the iron bar supporting the roof and lawn was trapped, underneath her expecting the sides of the carriage to give way at any moment, eventually, as the overtook, the sleigh ahead, the horses calmed and the occupant of the Sleigh Princess Louise’s aide-de-camp ordered an empty carriage to convey the injured party back to Rideau Hall.

The doctors who attended Louise reported she was severely concussed and in shock and that it was a wonder her skull was not fractured. Louise’s ear had been injured when her earring caught on the side of the sleigh tearing her earlobe into the press played down the story on instructions from Lorna’s private secretary, an act that was described by contemporaries as stupid and ill-advised. For example, one New Zealand newspaper reported accepting immediately after the blow.

The princess was perfectly sensible during the whole time. Knowledge of Louise’s true condition might have elicited sympathy from the Canadian people as it was one member of parliament wrote except the cut in the lower part of the ear. I think there was no injury done worth mentioning. Therefore, when Louise cancelled her immediate engagements, people thought she was malingering. News of the accident was also played down in Britain and in letters home to the anxious Queen Victoria.

She played a major role in the development of the nascent tourism industry of the colony of Bermuda 770 miles southeast of Nova Scotia in 1883 because of her fragile health. She spent the winter in Bermuda popular rising, a trend for wealthy North Americans to escape to Bermuda s relatively mild climate during the winter months. Her visit brought such attention to Bermuda that a palatial hotel, which opened in 1885, intended to cater to these new visitors, was named after her.

In 1896, he won the South Manchester seat entering Parliament as a liberal Louise, unlike lon, and his father was in favour of Irish Home Rule and disappointed when he defected from Gladstone Ian liberalism to the liberal unionists.

Relations between Louise and lorn was strained, and, despite the Queen’s attempts to keep them under one roof, they often went their separate ways even when he accompanied Louise. He was not always received with favorite court, and the Prince of Wales did not take to him out of all the royal family. Lorne was the only one to be identified closely with a political party having been a Gladstone Ian’s liberal in the House of Commons, Louise’s relationship with the two sisters closest to the Queen, Beatrice and Helena was strained at best.

Beatrice had married the tall and handsome prince Henry of Battenberg in a love match in 1885, and they had four children. Louise who had a jealous nature had grown accustomed to treating Beatrice with pity on account of the Queen’s constant need for her Beatrice’s biographer Matthew. Dennison claims that, in contrast to Beatrice, Louise remained strikingly good-looking throughout her 40s Louise and her husband were no longer close and rumors spread about Lorna’s alleged homosexuality.

Thus Beatrice was enjoying a satisfying sexual relationship with her popular husband, which louise was not. Louise may have considered Prince Henry a more appropriate husband for herself. Certainly following Prince Henry’s death in 1896, Louise wrote that he Henry Henry was almost the greatest friend I had. I too miss him more than I can say.

Lord stem finem, the Queen’s assistant private secretary, Beatrice mentioned the rumours to the Queen’s physician, calling it a scandal and Prince Henry claimed to have seen big drinking to Louise’s health at dinner. Louise denied the rumor, claiming that it was started by Beatrice and Helena to undermine her position at court.

However, on Henry’s death relations between the sisters sporadically improved, and it was Louise rather than the Queen, who was the first to arrive at shimmies to be with the widowed Beatrice. Nevertheless, Louise as jealousy did not evaporate completely James read the Queen’s physician wrote to his wife a few years later. Louise is as usual, much down on her sisters, hope she won’t stay along or she will do.

Mischief rumours of affairs did not surround only big. In 1890, the sculptor joseph edgar Boehm died in Louise’s presence at his studio in london, leading to rumours that the two were having an affair. Poems assistant, Alfred Gilbert, who played a central role in comforting Louise after Boehm’s, death and supervised the destruction of bones private papers was rapidly promoted as a royal sculptor. Louise was also romantically linked to fellow artist, Edwin Luo Tian’s, her aquarii Colonel William prophet, and an unnamed music master.

The butler informed her that he already had one she then went so far as to suggest a bed that would throw him out at a specified time, but she was told this was not feasible.

Finally, she suggested that he might be ill and when checked, he was found to be suffering from tuberculosis. The footman was therefore sent to New Zealand to recover. On another occasion, when she visited Bermuda, she was invited to a reception and chose to walk rather than be driven. She became thirsty along the way and stopped at a house where she asked a black woman named mrs. McCarthy for a glass of water owing to the scarcity of water.

The woman had to go some distance to obtained it, but was reluctant because she had to finish her ironing when Louise offered to continue the ironing. The woman refused, adding that she was in a great hurry to finish so that she could go and see Princess. Louise. Realising that she had been recognized, Louise and quiet weather McCarthy would recognize her again when the woman said that she would have thought so, but was admittedly unsure.

Louise and her sisters had another disagreement after the death of the Queen’s close friend, Jane Spencer, Baroness Churchill, determined not to put her mother through more misery.
