A photograph of Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale and Princess Mary of Teck in 1891

After the engagement was announced, Princess Mary, her parents and brothers, went to Windsor Castle on the evening of 10 December 1891, and they all stayed for two days. During that time, Prince Albert Victor and Princess Mary were photographe by Hills & Saunders, at the castle. The Prince caught flu at Christmas, and died of pneumonia on 14 January 1892, at Sandringham, while plans for his forthcoming marriage and his appointment as Viceroy of Ireland were under way. Princess Mary eventually married his brother Prince George, Duke of York, later King George V.
