1844 Alexandra Connaught Daughters Duchess Duff Fife Linked Louise Maud 1925 Granddaughters
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a tender moment between Queen Alexandra (1844-1925), the consort of King Edward VII, and her two granddaughters, Alexandra Duff (later Duchess of Connaught) and Princess Maud of Wales, in 1925. The scene is set in the opulent surroundings of a grand royal residence, with the three women dressed in elegant hats and formal attire, reflecting the refined etiquette of the British monarchy. Queen Alexandra, a Danish princess, was a beloved and respected figure in British society, known for her charitable works and dedication to her family. Here, she is seen doting on her two eldest granddaughters, Alexandra Duff and Princess Maud, who were the daughters of her eldest daughter, Princess Louise, Duchess of Fife. The eldest granddaughter, Alexandra Duff, was born in 1879 and would later marry the Duke of Connaught in 1896. She went on to become the Duchess of Connaught and Strathearn, and played an active role in public life, representing the monarchy at various events and functions. Princess Maud, born in 1869, was the elder of the two sisters of King Haakon VII of Norway. She married the future King of Norway, Crown Prince Haakon, in 1896, and became the Queen of Norway upon her husband's accession in 1906. This photograph offers a glimpse into the close bond between Queen Alexandra and her granddaughters, as well as the elegance and grace of the British royal family in the early 20th century. It is a poignant reminder of the rich history and tradition that continues to shape the monarchy today.
