Royal shoppers?

[Pastitman]

Photo  of  Chesterfield,  High  Street  shop, around  1900  I  think.
Just  wondered  who  the " royalty"  were  that  shopped  there.

Sorry can't help on that one I did ask my aunt who is staying with us - she's 87 but she has no knowledge of who the Royalty would have been.
She tells me that back then as a young girl going into Chesterfield was a big treat and they didn't go very often.
If you do find out would you post and let us know please

Thanks  for  that  OC.
  It  was  suggested  that  it  could  be  the  Duke  of  Devonshire  but  is  that  royalty  in  the  true  sense?

( I  was  going  to  suggest  that  it  was  you  but  thought  better  of  it )

The Duke would probably be looked upon as Royalty and to have him shopping there ( if it was him ) would certainly be advertised to encourage business do you think?

I'd be tempted to agree with it being the Duke
