EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image captures the elegance and grandeur of a bygone era, as we gaze upon Princess Alexandra of Denmark (1844-1925) in her exquisite wedding dress on the day she became the Queen Consort of Edward VII, the King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, on March 10, 1863. Born in Copenhagen, Denmark, Alexandra was the eldest daughter of Prince Christian of Denmark and Princess Louise of Hesse and the Rhine. Her marriage to the future King Edward VII was a significant event in British history, as it marked the end of the long-standing tradition of marrying within the House of Hanover and the beginning of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. The wedding dress, designed by the renowned fashion designer, Charles Frederick Worth, was a masterpiece of its time. The dress was made of ivory satin, with a high neckline, long sleeves, and a fitted bodice. The skirt was full and voluminous, with a train that measured an impressive 12 yards in length. The dress was also adorned with intricate lace and embroidery, adding to its ethereal beauty. The wedding ceremony took place at the Chapel Royal in St. James's Palace, London, in the presence of an esteemed guest list that included European royalty and dignitaries. The marriage was a grand affair, with elaborate celebrations taking place throughout the city. This image is a testament to the rich history and traditions of royal weddings, and offers a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Victorian era. It is a reminder of the significance of this historical event and the role that Alexandra played in shaping the monarchy and the history of the United Kingdom.
