Though if you do match the handwriting, perhaps he did. Postcards of all sorts of people were popular at the time - even politicians.<br /><br />Whose wedding was it at Wood Norton? He and his wife didn't have any children.<br /><br />Interestingly enough; I looked up the story of how Peach Melba was created with one of my students - and the singer, Nellie Melba was honored with this dessert at a dinner party given by the Duke! He was a very handsome man, I imagine he charmed a lot of ladies.<br /><br />Thank you for your useful comment<br />Anjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02562210585479814093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31800246.post-77667672578444729902013-05-18T11:28:05.538+02:002013-05-18T11:28:05.538+02:00Hi Have just found your postcard of The Duke of Or...Hi Have just found your postcard of The Duke of Orleans I have recently become interested in him as I have some Verascope Richard positive slides which I think were taken by him or a close friend some which are very interesting of the Royal Wedding at Wood Norton and also various members of the household staff. There are about 700 slides on various subjects I am hoping the writing on your postcard may help as some of the slides are written on and I can now compare the writing to see if they really are taken by him.
