David and I rented the DVD of The Duchess, the 2008 movie based on the life of Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire, as portrayed by Keira Knightley. Georgiana landed her title through William Cavendish, 5th Duke of Devonshire. In Wikipedia, I was following the succession of Dukes of Devonshire, reaching the 9th, Victor Cavendish, who was appointed by the well-kilted George V as the 11th Governor General of Canada, succeeding Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, the son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, also appointed Governor by George V, his nephew.
There I came upon this photo of Prince Arthur in this Scottish finery.
A very large version is also available.
Regards,
Rex.
At any moment you must be prepared to give up who you are today for who you could become tomorrow.
