EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra of Denmark, in the year 1862, as she celebrates her engagement to the future King Edward VII of Great Britain. The Princess, who was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, on December 1, 1844, was the eldest daughter of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein and Princess Louise Rasmussen-Levetzau. In this portrait, Princess Alexandra is depicted in her youthful beauty, wearing an elegant and ornate gown adorned with intricate lace and embroidery. The Princess's engagement to the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, was announced on December 3, 1861, and the couple's wedding took place on March 10, 1863, at the Chapel Royal in St. James's Palace, London. The border of the photograph is adorned with the crest and arms of the United Kingdom, symbolizing the union of the young couple and their future roles as monarch and consort. The Princess's coat, which features the Dannebrog Order's star and sash, signifies her Danish heritage and the strong ties between Denmark and Great Britain. Princess Alexandra's engagement was a cause for great celebration throughout the British Isles, and this photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the joy and excitement that surrounded the royal event. The Princess went on to become a beloved and respected figure in British society, and her legacy as a devoted wife, mother, and patron of the arts continues to be celebrated to this day.
