Edward VII and the Duke of Connaught as Grand Masters of Freemasonry: A Historical Image from 1910 This photograph, taken in 1910, depicts King Edward VII and the Duke of Connaught in their roles as Grand Masters of the United Grand Lodge of England, the governing body of Freemasonry in England and Wales. Freemasonry is a fraternal, secular society that has been dedicated to the principles of brotherly love, charitable relief, and high moral standards since its inception. The organization's secrecy, however, has often led to suspicion that it exists primarily for personal, business, and social advancement. Edward VII, who reigned from 1901 to 1910, was a prominent Freemason, and his support for the organization was well-known. In this image, he is seen wearing the regalia of the Grand Master, including the apron, collar, and sash. The Duke of Connaught, who served as Grand Master from 1910 to 1942, stands beside him, also in full regalia. Despite the controversy surrounding Freemasonry's perceived motives, the organization has a rich history and a significant impact on society. The principles of brotherly love, charitable relief, and high moral standards have been important values throughout history, and Freemasonry has provided a platform for men to come together and support one another, both personally and collectively. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Freemasonry during a time when the organization was under intense scrutiny. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of brotherhood and the importance of upholding moral values, even in the face of criticism and suspicion.
