Napoleon was the scourge of multiple armies, and yet he was defeated by the #DukeOfWellington. Whether you view 2025 as a victory or a scourge, look at the next year as your opportunity to succeed. Our greatest victories are in front of us in Jesus Name! #PruittWrites #pencilsketch

Tonight I went to a #RegencyBall at #ApsleyHouse!
It was a special thrill because when I did research in the papers of #BetsyBonaparte I found invitations to Betsy from the #DukeofWellington.
This evening I had the pleasure of channeling my inner Betsy at a ball in the Duke of Wellington’s house!

Street artist Rebel Bear has been at it again, this time replacing the traffic cone with a new feathered friend for the Duke – in a move Glaswegians have already labelled 'iconic'. The Duke of Wellin...

Do any #Arthur Wellesley #DukeofWellington expert/enthusiasts know where he writes about the 4 yr old Salabat Khan who he left money for after his troops defeated the boy's father Dhoondiah on 10 Sept 1800?

Standing with the famous portrait of the Duke of Wellington in Apsley House, London, late last summer.

NOTE: Photography is now permitted within Apsley House (it wasn't for many years), just no flash.
