EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the radiant beauty and youthful grace of Queen Alexandra of Wales, shortly after her marriage to Prince Albert Edward, the future King Edward VII, in 1863. The image, taken between 1844 and 1925, showcases the newlywed queen in an elegant pink gown, adorned with intricate lace and a high collar, a fashionable choice for the time. Her ringlets cascade down her shoulders, framing her delicate features and adding to her ethereal charm. Alexandra of Denmark was the consort of Prince Albert Edward, who would later ascend to the throne as King Edward VII in 1901. Their marriage was a love match, as the couple had met during Albert Edward's visit to Copenhagen in 1861, and they were married just over a year later. The union was celebrated by the British public, who were drawn to the couple's warmth and vitality, a welcome change from the more formal and distant reign of Queen Victoria. The photograph offers a glimpse into the private world of the royal couple, capturing the tender moments of their early married life. Alexandra's expression is one of happiness and contentment, reflecting the deep affection she shared with her husband. The image serves as a poignant reminder of the love story that unfolded between the Prince of Wales and the Danish princess, and the lasting impact they had on the British monarchy and the nation.
