The couple had three children; the eldest married Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden. Arthur served as Governor-General of Canada from 1911 to 1916 and Princess Louise Margaret, Duchess of Connaught and Strathearn, was styled Viceregal Consul of Canada for that period.
The father of Princess Louise Margaret (Luise Margarete before she married) was a double cousin of Prussian Emperor Frederick III, who was married to Arthur's sister Victoria, Princess Royal.
Louise, Duchess of Connaught, was the first member of the British Royal Family to be cremated.
