EDITORS COMMENTS
In this beautiful photograph, Princess Alexandra of Wales, later Queen Alexandra (1844-1925), is seen with her youngest sister, Princess Thyra of Denmark, later Duchess of Cumberland (1853-1933). The image, taken in 1875, captures the sisters in their youthful beauty and close relationship. Alexandra, the elder sister, is dressed in a elegant gown with a high neckline and long sleeves, accessorized with a delicate necklace and earrings. Her dark hair is styled in an intricate updo, framing her delicate features. Thyra, on the other hand, wears a simple white blouse and a dark skirt, her chestnut hair pulled back into a low bun. The sisters are seated on a sofa, their hands intertwined, gazing lovingly into each other's eyes. Princess Alexandra became Queen Consort of the United Kingdom in 1863, when she married Prince Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales and future King Edward VII. Thyra, the youngest daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, went on to marry Frederick, Duke of Cumberland and became the Duchess of Cumberland in 1869. The sisters' relationship was a close one, and they remained devoted to each other throughout their lives. This photograph is a poignant reminder of their sisterly bond, captured in a moment of tender affection. The image is a historical treasure, providing a glimpse into the lives of two royal sisters during a time when the monarchy held great power and influence in Europe. The photograph is a rare and important historical document, and is a valuable addition to any collection of royal history or family history. It is a reminder of the complex and fascinating lives of the European royal families, and the deep bonds that existed between them. This image is a must-have for historians, genealogists, and anyone with an interest in royal history or the history of Europe.
