Princess Patricia of Connaught — "Patsy" to family and friends (Victoria Patricia Helena Elizabeth; later Lady Patricia Ramsay; she was born on 17 March 1886, St Patrick's Day, at Buckingham Palace in London – 12 January 1974) was a member of the British Royal Family, a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. She relinquished her title of a British princess and the style of Her Royal Highness upon her marriage to the commoner Alexander Ramsay.
In 1911, her father the Duke of Connaught was appointed Governor General of Canada. Princess Patricia accompanied her parents to Canada, and she became popular there.
She was named Colonel-in-Chief of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry on 22 February 1918 and held that appointment until her death at aged 88 years in 1974.
