Princess Patricia of Connaught was born on March 17, 1886, in London, England. She was the daughter of Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught, who was the third son of Queen Victoria. Patricia was known for her beauty and charm, and she became a popular figure in royal circles. In 1919, Patricia married Alexander Ramsay, who was a commoner, which was somewhat unusual for a member of the British royal family. The couple had no children, and Patricia dedicated much of her life to charitable work, particularly in support of veterans and their families after World War I.
