1. Title: "Princess Alexandra of Wales: A Life of Devotion and Duty as Queen Consort" 2.. This evocative photograph captures Princess Alexandra of Wales, later Queen Alexandra (1844-1925), in her regal splendor. The image, taken during her time as Queen Consort to King Edward VII, showcases her elegant beauty and unwavering dedication to her role as the monarch's spouse. Born on Christmas Day in 1844 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Princess Alexandra was the eldest daughter of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein and Princess Louise of Hesse and the Rhine. Her Danish heritage and strong family ties to the British monarchy made her an ideal candidate for marriage to the future King Edward, who was then the Prince of Wales. Their union took place on March 10, 1863, at Windsor Castle. As Queen Consort, Alexandra played a significant role in the court and society. She was known for her charitable work, particularly in the fields of health and education, and was a patron of numerous organizations. Her dedication to her husband and the British people was unwavering, even during times of personal tragedy. In 1878, she lost her eldest son, Prince Albert Victor, who was next in line to the throne, and her husband, King Edward VII, passed away in 1910. Despite these losses, Queen Alexandra continued to serve the monarchy and the people of Britain with grace and dignity. She remained a beloved figure until her death in 1925 at the age of 80. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of her enduring legacy as a devoted and dedicated consort, wife, and queen. This image is part of the extensive collection of historical photographs at Mary Evans Picture Library. It is an invaluable resource for researchers, historians, and anyone interested in the rich history of the British monarchy and the life of Princess Alexandra, Queen Consort of Edward VII.
