EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite photograph captures the youthful beauty and regal grace of Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra of Wales (1844-1925), the future consort of King Edward VII of Britain. Taken in 1883, the image presents Princess Alexandra in her early thirties, adorned with the splendor of her Danish heritage and the promise of her future role as Queen. Born in Copenhagen as Princess Alexandra of Denmark, she was the eldest daughter of Prince Christian IX and Queen Louise. Her marriage to the Prince of Wales, the future King Edward VII, took place on March 10, 1863, at the Chapel Royal in St. James's Palace, London. Their union was significant as it marked the end of the childless reign of Queen Victoria and the beginning of a new era for the British monarchy. In this photograph, Princess Alexandra wears a stunning tiara and choker necklace, both adorned with precious jewels. The tiara, a gift from her mother, features diamonds, emeralds, and pearls, while the choker necklace boasts a magnificent collection of pearls and diamonds. The combination of these exquisite pieces highlights her royal status and the opulence of the time. Princess Alexandra's reign as Queen Consort, which began upon Edward VII's accession to the throne in 1901, was marked by her dedication to charitable works and her support of her husband's efforts to modernize the monarchy. Her grace, elegance, and commitment to her role as Queen made her a beloved figure in British society and a symbol of the new era that followed the long reign of Queen Victoria.
