Alexandra Broken Consort Denmark Empress Heart Husband Message Mourning Nation Royals Sorrow Statement Sympathy
EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant photograph captures Queen Alexandra (1844-1925), the mourning Queen Mother of the United Kingdom and Empress of India, as she addresses the nation following the unexpected death of her beloved husband, King-Emperor Edward VII, in May 1910. The image, taken in the aftermath of the monarch's passing, shows the Danish-born Queen in deep mourning, her broken heart evident in her expressive, sorrowful eyes. In her message to the people of the United Kingdom and the British Empire, Queen Alexandra expressed her profound sympathy and offered words of comfort and reassurance during this time of national grief. As the wife of the late King, she assumed the role of regent for their son, the future George V, until his official coronation in 1911. This historic portrait, a poignant reminder of the monarch's personal loss and the nation's collective mourning, stands as a significant moment in the annals of royal history.
