EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Marie Alexandra Victoria of Edinburgh: The British Princess Who Became the Queen of Romania" 2.. This striking photograph captures Princess Marie Alexandra Victoria of Edinburgh, a captivating figure in European royal history. Born on November 26, 1842, in Edinburgh, Scotland, Marie Alexandra was the eldest daughter of Prince Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales, and Queen Victoria. Marie Alexandra's life took an unexpected turn when she was chosen as the bride for King Ferdinand I of Romania. Their marriage took place on January 10, 1869, in London, making Marie Alexandra the Queen Consort of Romania. The union between the British and Romanian royal families was significant, as it helped strengthen diplomatic ties between the two nations. Marie Alexandra's arrival in Romania marked the beginning of a new era for the country, which was undergoing modernization and Europeanization. As queen, Marie Alexandra was an active patron of the arts, education, and philanthropy. She founded several institutions, including the National Museum of Art of Romania and the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad. Her humanitarian efforts extended beyond Romania's borders, as she also supported various charities in the United Kingdom. Marie Alexandra's reign was marked by tragedy, as she lost her husband, King Ferdinand, in 1883, and her eldest son, Crown Prince Carol, in 1892. Despite these losses, she continued to serve as regent for her younger son, King George I, until his majority in 1914. This photograph, taken during Marie Alexandra's time in Romania, captures her regal beauty and poise. Her elegant attire and the intricate details of the royal background emphasize her status as a queen consort. The image is a testament to Marie Alexandra's enduring legacy as a British princess who left her mark on the history of Romania.
