Alexandra of Denmark was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Empress of India, from 1901 to 1910 as the wife of King Edward VII. Born into a cadet branch of the House of Oldenburg, she became Princess of Wales upon her marriage in 1863, holding the title for thirty-eight years. Excluded from formal political power, she shaped public life through extensive philanthropic work, set enduring fashion trends, and staunchly championed Danish and Greek interests until her death as queen mother in 1925.

Early life and background

Princess Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julia, known as Alix within her family circle, was born on 1 December 1844 at the Yellow Palace, an eighteenth-century townhouse at 18 Amaliegade, immediately adjacent to the Amalienborg Palace complex in Copenhagen.[1][2] She was the second child and eldest daughter of Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg and Princess Louise of Hesse-Kassel.[2][3][4] Both of her parents were great-grandchildren of King Frederick V of Denmark and great-great-grandchildren of King George II of Great Britain.[2][5] She had five siblings: Frederick, William (later King George I of Greece), Dagmar (later Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia), Thyra (later Crown Princess of Hanover), and Valdemar.[1][2] Her younger siblings entered dynastic marriages that later earned their parents the sobriquet of the father-in-law and mother-in-law of Europe.[2] Alexandra was named in honour of Grand Duchess Alexandra Nikolaevna of Russia, her maternal aunt by marriage, who had died a few months before her birth.[5][6] During her baptism at the Yellow Palace, clergy used the gilded font traditionally reserved for the Danish royal house.[7][8]

Her father's family belonged to a cadet line of the Danish royal House of Oldenburg, descending from King Christian III of Denmark.[2][9] Although possessing royal lineage, the family lived in modest circumstances.[9][10] Prince Christian received an annual military income of approximately £800 from a commission in the Danish army, and their home was a grace-and-favour residence granted rent-free by King Christian VIII.[9][10][11] The author Hans Christian Andersen was occasionally invited to the house to tell stories to the children before bedtime.[12][13][14] The children were raised simply; they helped with domestic chores, waited on the table, and made their own clothes.[15][16][17] Alexandra and her sister Dagmar shared an unheated attic bedroom on the upper floor, where Alexandra kept her desk, piano, and personal cabinet until her marriage, when she had the furniture relocated to Sandringham House in England.[18][19] Both sisters were taught swimming by Nancy Edberg, the Swedish pioneer of women's physical education.[20]

In 1848, King Christian VIII died, and his only son acceded to the throne as Frederick VII.[21][22][23] Frederick had undergone two unsuccessful marriages, had no children, and was believed to be infertile.[21][22] A dynastic succession crisis followed because Frederick ruled both Denmark and the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, where the inheritance laws differed.[21][22][23] Salic law governed Holstein, barring inheritance through female lines, whereas Danish succession laws permitted transmission through female heirs.[21][22] Predominantly German in population, Holstein declared its independence and appealed to the Kingdom of Prussia for military assistance, initiating the First Schleswig War.[22][23] After the conflict ended with Prussian defeat, the major European powers convened a conference in London in 1852 to regulate the succession.[21][22][23] Under the terms agreed on 8 May 1852, Prince Christian was designated heir to all of Frederick VII's dominions, and other potential claimants, including Christian's wife, his brother-in-law, and his mother-in-law, formally renounced their prior rights.[21][22][23][24][25]

Prince Christian received the title of Prince of Denmark, and the family moved into Bernstorff Palace as their official summer residence.[26][27][28] Their income increased little, and they continued to live frugally.[26][27] The family chose not to participate in court life in Copenhagen because they refused to associate with Frederick VII's third wife, the former milliner and actress Louise Rasmussen, whom the king had married morganatically as Countess Danner and who had an illegitimate child from a previous relationship.[26][27][28] While the European revolutions of 1848 and 1849 swept the continent, Frederick VII signed Denmark's first constitution on 5 June 1849, establishing a constitutional monarchy and extending voting rights to men over thirty.[29][30] Prince Christian's household supported the constitutional transformation, and historian Frances Dimond observed that this upbringing provided Alexandra with an early understanding of the constitutional principles she would encounter in Britain.[29][30]

At Bernstorff Palace, Alexandra pursued a thorough domestic education.[31][32] She studied English under Mathilde Knudsen, who remained a lifelong friend and was later invited to the 1893 royal wedding of Alexandra's son and to her 1902 coronation.[18][19] Her curriculum included French under Mademoiselle Schmidland, German under Pastor Theobald, drawing under Professor Buntzen, and history and geography under Professor Petersen.[18][19] Her surviving notebooks from 1854 to 1862 contain essays on botany, mineralogy, and zoology, as well as historical surveys of Switzerland, ancient Rome and Greece, and a chronological study of Norwegian monarchs from 930 to 1412.[18][19] She read the plays of William Shakespeare, developing a permanent interest in the theatre.[18][19] Her mother and Monsignor Siboni instructed her in music; she learned to play the piano proficiently and later mastered the mandolin.[33][34] The family often visited Christiansborg Palace to view the natural history collections and the royal library, where Alexandra developed an appreciation for the sculptures of Bertel Thorvaldsen.[29][30] She practiced gymnastics and horsemanship with her father, rode regularly, and assisted her mother in planting gardens.[25][35][36][37] The family made annual summer journeys to Rumpenheim Palace near Frankfurt to join gatherings of the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel.[38][39] On 20 October 1860, Alexandra was confirmed at Christiansborg Palace by Pastor Paulli alongside her elder brother Frederick, a service attended to her parents' irritation by Countess Danner.[18][19][40][41] Alexandra remained devout throughout her life, adhering to the High Church tradition within the Anglican communion after her marriage.[42][43][44]

Marriage and family

As Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, approached his twentieth birthday in November 1861, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert sought a suitable bride to encourage him to settle down.[45][46][47] They enlisted the help of their eldest daughter, Victoria, Crown Princess of Prussia, to examine Protestant princesses across the German states and northern Europe.[45][48][49] The candidates reviewed in the press and diplomatic correspondence included Princess Marie of the Netherlands, Princess Elisabeth of Wied, Princess Anna of Hesse-Darmstadt, Princess Alexandrine of Prussia, Princess Marie Gasparine of Saxe-Altenburg, and Princess Alexandra of Denmark.[50][51] Another possible match, Princess Marie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, was discarded because of her Roman Catholic faith.[48][49] Queen Victoria initially hesitated over a Danish match due to the unresolved Schleswig-Holstein question, as the British royal house held extensive German family connections and supported Prussia.[45][52][53] The queen privately expressed strong reservations about Prince Christian's relatives.[54][55] However, Walburga 'Wally' Paget, the wife of British diplomat Augustus Paget in Copenhagen, met Alexandra in October 1860 and sent admiring accounts to Crown Princess Victoria, describing the young princess as graceful and gentle.[56][57] Crown Princess Victoria met Alexandra in Neustrelitz on 29 May 1860, assisted by the Duchess of Cambridge, and concurred that she was charming.[58][59] Her only concern was a small surgical scar on Alexandra's neck, which doctors confirmed was the result of a childhood operation on her glands rather than scrofula.[58][59]

Prince Albert sent his daughter's letters, with photographs of Alexandra, to the Prince of Wales, who was living at Madingley Hall while studying at Cambridge.[60][61] Bertie expressed interest, and on 24 September 1861, Crown Princess Victoria introduced the couple at Speyer in the Kingdom of Bavaria.[62][63][64] The prince found the sixteen-year-old Danish princess attractive.[63] Queen Victoria decided that if Bertie chose not to marry her, her younger son Prince Alfred might become betrothed to her within three years.[65][66] Other courts had also taken notice; Queen Sophie of the Netherlands and Emperor Alexander II of Russia both considered Alexandra as a bride for their eldest sons.[67][68] Dynastic rivals in Germany, including Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Duchess Adelaide Marie of Nassau, attempted to deter the British court by spreading rumours regarding the sobriety and character of Alexandra's parents.[69][70][71][72] Negotiations were interrupted in late 1861 when news broke of the Prince of Wales's brief affair with the actress Nellie Clifden at Curragh Camp.[62][73][74] Prince Albert travelled to Cambridge to remonstrate with his son on 25 November and fell gravely ill with typhoid fever shortly afterwards, dying on 14 December 1861.[73][74] The grieving queen blamed Bertie for his father's death, bringing marriage plans to a temporary standstill.[73][74]

In March 1862, British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston reported that Tsar Alexander II was keen for his heir, Tsarevich Nicholas Alexandrovich, to wed Alexandra, prompting the British court to act.[75][76] On 1 September 1862, Queen Victoria travelled to the Royal Castle of Laeken near Brussels, the residence of King Leopold I of Belgium, to meet Alexandra and her parents in person.[62][67][77][78] Pleased by the princess's modesty and poise, the queen presented her with a sprig of white heather picked by Prince Albert at Balmoral.[77][78] Bertie arrived at Laeken several days later, secured the consent of Alexandra's parents, and proposed to her in the palace gardens on 9 September 1862, an offer she accepted immediately.[62][68][78][79][80] In November 1862, Alexandra and her father visited Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle, where the queen formed a warm impression of her.[81][82] The formal marriage treaty was signed in Copenhagen on 15 January 1863, providing Alexandra with an annual parliamentary settlement and income from Prince Albert's estate.[83][84][85] Before she departed Denmark, receptions were hosted in her honour, and Danish citizens presented her with a dowry fund of 100,000 kroner and a porcelain dinner service of the Flora Danica design.[86][87][88]

Alexandra departed Denmark on 27 February 1863, travelling through Kiel, Hamburg, Hanover, and Cologne to Brussels, where King Leopold entertained the party.[89] On 5 March, she boarded the royal yacht HMY Victoria and Albert II at Antwerp and landed at Gravesend, Kent, on 7 March 1863.[89][90][91] Sir Arthur Sullivan composed welcome music, and Poet Laureate Alfred, Lord Tennyson, wrote an ode in her honour.[90] Thomas Longley, Archbishop of Canterbury, conducted the wedding on 10 March 1863 at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle.[92][93][94] The ceremony was attended by dignitaries including Alfred Tennyson, Charles Dickens, William Makepeace Thackeray, Maharajah Duleep Singh, and the Duchess of Brabant, while soprano Jenny Lind sang during the service.[95][96][97][98][99] The British court remained in deep mourning for Prince Albert, and female guests were required to wear dresses of grey, lilac, or mauve.[10][11][92] Queen Victoria watched from the Catherine of Aragon oriel window overlooking the choir, refusing to participate in the wedding banquet in St George's Hall.[93][94] Alexandra wore a white satin gown embellished with Honiton lace, supported by four flounces and a train of silver moiré, and was escorted to the altar by her father and the Duke of Cambridge.[100][101][102][103] Her wedding ring featured six gems whose initials spelled out Bertie.[93][102] The couple spent their honeymoon at Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, cheered along the route by boys from Eton College, among them Lord Randolph Churchill.[92][104][105][106]

Alexandra and Albert Edward had six children across their marriage: Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale (born 8 January 1864), King George V (born 3 June 1865), Louise, Princess Royal (born 20 February 1867), Princess Victoria (born 6 July 1868), Maud, Queen of Norway (born 26 November 1869), and Prince Alexander John (born 6 April 1871).[107][108][109] All of Alexandra's children were delivered prematurely; biographer Richard Hough suggested that she deliberately misinformed Queen Victoria about her expected delivery dates to prevent the queen from attending the births.[107][110][111] The royal nurse, Mrs Blackburn, noted that Alexandra was devoted to her children, washing them herself in a flannel apron and putting them to bed in the nursery.[112][113][114] Her relationship with her mother-in-law remained complicated.[115] In 1866, Queen Victoria arranged the marriage of her daughter Princess Helena to Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, a member of the Augustenburg claimant family that challenged Christian IX's rights to the duchies.[115][116] Alexandra reacted with indignation, declaring that the duchies belonged to her father, and she refused to treat Christian as a close relative, creating lasting tension with the queen.[116][117][118][119]

Princess of Wales

Alexandra held the title of Princess of Wales from 1863 to 1901, representing the longest tenure of the title in British history.[120][121] Sandringham House in Norfolk became the family's preferred private residence, while Marlborough House served as their London base.[122][123][124] The couple established a lively social circle, known as the Marlborough House set, engaging in racing, weekend house parties, and entertaining.[125] During the birth of her third child, Princess Louise, in February 1867, Alexandra developed a severe attack of rheumatic fever that endangered her life and left her with a permanent limp in one leg.[126][127][128] When she visited Ireland in April 1868, she had only just begun to walk again without the aid of two walking sticks, and she was already pregnant with her fourth child.[129][130][131] From autumn 1868 to spring 1869, the royal couple undertook a six-month foreign tour.[132][133][134] They visited Emperor Napoleon III and Empress Eugénie at Compiègne, stopped in Paris, spent Christmas in Denmark with Alexandra's family, and visited Berlin, where Alexandra met Otto von Bismarck and the Prussian royal family.[133][134] In Vienna, Emperor Franz Joseph I and Empress Elisabeth hosted them, and Alexandra joined Elisabeth on riding excursions.[133][134]

The royal couple continued to Egypt aboard a British naval vessel, sailing up the Nile to Luxor and visiting the rock-cut tombs of Beni Hasan, the Colossi of Memnon, and Karnak.[135][136] During the excursion, Alexandra took an orphaned Nubian boy, Ali Achmet, into her care; he was brought to England and christened under their sponsorship.[135][136] They travelled through the Suez Canal to Istanbul, exploring bazaars under the pseudonyms Mr and Mrs Williams.[137][138] In Istanbul, Alexandra became the first woman to dine at the same table as Ottoman Sultan Abdulaziz, who presented her with jewellery and a portrait.[132][139][140] The tour concluded with visits to Crimean War battlefields and British military cemeteries, followed by a visit to King George I and Queen Olga in Greece, returning through Paris to London in mid-May 1869.[132][141][142][143]

Her final pregnancy ended on 6 April 1871 with the birth of Prince Alexander John, who lived for only twenty-four hours.[144][145][146] Alexandra appealed to Queen Victoria for personal privacy, but the queen declared a period of official court mourning.[144][145][146] Some newspapers unsympathetically branded the delivery an abortion and the funeral a mummery, although the infant was buried quietly in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene at Sandringham rather than in the royal vaults at Windsor.[144][145][146] Later in 1871, the Prince of Wales contracted typhoid fever, the disease thought to have killed his father, falling into critical condition at Sandringham.[122][147][148] Alexandra and his sister Princess Alice nursed him through the illness, which brought a public outpouring of sympathy and, according to some biographers, reconciled the couple after a period of estrangement, although others use family letters to deny that there was any serious rift.[122][147][148][149] Bertie nonetheless maintained extra-marital affairs throughout their marriage, associating with actresses and society hostesses such as Lillie Langtry, Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick, Agnes Keyser, and Alice Keppel.[150][151][152] Alexandra was aware of most of these relationships; she tolerated Keppel, the prince's companion during the final twelve years of his life, and permitted her to visit him on his deathbed in 1910.[150][151][152][153][154] Alexandra herself remained faithful to her husband.[155][156][157]

Alexandra formed a close, platonic friendship with Lord Oliver Montagu, the son of the Earl of Sandwich, who served as an extra equerry to the Prince of Wales from 1868 onwards.[158] Montagu was devoted to Alexandra, danced the opening dances with her at balls, and discussed religious matters with her.[158] The friendship was accepted by the Prince of Wales, Queen Victoria, and London society as a formal, non-physical courtly relationship.[158] The Prince of Wales was embroiled in several contemporary legal and social scandals.[159] In 1868, he was called as a witness in the divorce trial of Harriet Mordaunt, in which he was named as one of the men with whom she had deceived her husband.[159] The prince testified that he had visited Lady Mordaunt only as a friend and denied improper relations, an appearance that attracted substantial press scrutiny but garnered widespread public sympathy for Alexandra.[159] In 1875 and 1876, while the Prince of Wales undertook an eight-month tour of British India from which Alexandra was excluded, Lord Aylesford initiated divorce proceedings after his wife declared her love for Lord Blandford.[160][161][162] To halt the suit, Lady Aylesford and Blandford's brother, Lord Randolph Churchill, confronted Alexandra, threatening that if the divorce went to trial they would subpoena the Prince of Wales and publicise compromising letters from him.[160] Alexandra consulted Sir William Knollys and the Duchess of Teck and informed Queen Victoria, who intervened with Bertie.[160] The couples separated privately, and the prince refused to speak to Randolph Churchill for several years.[160]

Alexandra's hereditary otosclerosis worsened through the 1870s, causing increasing deafness that led to social isolation and caused her to spend more time with her children and domestic pets at Sandringham.[163][164][165] She kept numerous dogs, including pugs, Pekingese, and Japanese chins inside the house, and outdoor breeds such as St Bernards, Newfoundlands, basset hounds, and chow chows, serving as patron of the Kennel Club.[164] She took piano instruction from Charles Hallé and maintained a love for opera, while taking photography lessons from Frederick Ralph in the early 1870s and displaying prints at an 1897 exhibition.[166][167][168][169] In 1873, she and Bertie hosted Tsarevich Alexander and her sister Maria Feodorovna with their children at Marlborough House.[170][171] In 1874, the couple travelled to Saint Petersburg for the marriage of Prince Alfred to Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna of Russia.[172][173] Alexandra spent the spring of 1877 in Greece recovering from poor health, and during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877 to 1878 she openly supported the Russian cause and lobbied for a revision of Greek-Ottoman borders in Greece's favour.[174][175][176][177][178] Her two eldest sons were then sent on a three-year worldwide cruise as part of their naval and general education; the farewell was tearful, and her regular letters show how much she missed them.[179][180][181]

Alexandra took on a heavy schedule of public functions, opening bazaars, attending hospital dedications, and visiting charities in place of Queen Victoria.[182][183][184] She held a particular attachment to the London Hospital, which she visited frequently, meeting Joseph Merrick, the patient known as the Elephant Man, whom she befriended and sent signed photographs and Christmas cards.[185][186][187] Crowds across England generally greeted her with enthusiasm, but during an official visit to Ireland in 1885, she and her husband faced public hostility in Cork, an area of active Irish nationalism, where a crowd of two to three thousand protesters booed them while brandishing sticks and black flags.[188][189][190][191] During the same journey, she received an honorary Doctorate of Music from Trinity College Dublin.[192][193][194] In 1888, the couple celebrated their silver wedding anniversary, receiving a diamond tiara fashioned in the style of a Russian kokoshnik presented by 365 peeresses of the United Kingdom, a piece that remains in the Royal Collection.[195]

In January 1892, her eldest son, Prince Albert Victor, died of influenza and pneumonia at Sandringham House at the age of twenty-eight, weeks after becoming engaged to Princess Victoria Mary of Teck.[196][197][198] Alexandra was shattered by the loss, declaring that she had buried her happiness with him, and she ordered that his room and personal effects remain untouched, mirroring Queen Victoria's preservation of Prince Albert's rooms.[196][197][198][199][200] When Tsar Alexander III died at Livadia in Crimea in 1894, Alexandra travelled to Russia for more than two months to comfort her widowed sister, remaining beside Maria Feodorovna until the funeral in Saint Petersburg and attending the wedding of her nephew Emperor Nicholas II to Princess Alix of Hesse.[201][202][203][204] Alexandra retained her second daughter, Princess Victoria, as an unmarried companion at home, discouraging marriage proposals and using a hand bell to summon her, which led family members such as Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna to describe the princess as an unhappy and over-dutiful attendant.[205][206] In October 1898, Alexandra attended the funeral of her mother, Queen Louise, at Roskilde Cathedral in Denmark.[207][208]

Queen consort

Queen Victoria died on 22 January 1901 with Alexandra kneeling beside her bed holding her hand, whereupon Albert Edward acceded as King Edward VII and Alexandra became queen consort of the United Kingdom and empress consort of India.[209][210][211] Shortly after the accession, the king invested Alexandra with the Order of the Garter on 12 February 1901, making her the first woman appointed a Lady of the Garter since 1488.[212][213][214] Her son George and daughter-in-law Mary embarked on an extensive eight-month tour of the British Empire two months later, leaving their young children under the supervision of Edward and Alexandra at Sandringham.[215][216] The royal couple vacated Marlborough House to take up residence at Buckingham Palace.[217][218] In February 1901, Alexandra travelled to Friedrichshof near Kronberg in Germany to nurse her dying sister-in-law, Dowager Empress Victoria, who was suffering from terminal cancer, remaining there for several months until shortly before Victoria's death in August.[219][220]

The joint coronation was planned for 26 June 1902, but several days beforehand the king fell critically ill with appendicitis.[215][221][222] To minimize public panic, Alexandra took his place at a scheduled military parade and attended the Royal Ascot races on her own.[215][221][222] Sir Frederick Treves operated on the king to drain the infected appendix, and following his recovery, the coronation took place at Westminster Abbey on 9 August 1902.[215][222][223][224] Archbishop of Canterbury Frederick Temple crowned the king, while Archbishop of York William Dalrymple Maclagan crowned Alexandra with a new crown containing the Koh-i-Noor diamond.[222][223][224] Her annual civil list allowance was set at £60,000.[225][226] On 10 December 1903, while staying at Sandringham, a fire broke out in the bedroom of her Woman of the Bedchamber, Charlotte Knollys, situated directly below Alexandra's apartments; Knollys raised the alarm and led the queen to safety, for which she received a gold medal.[227][228][229] Grand Duchess Augusta of Mecklenburg-Strelitz observed that Charlotte was credited with saving Alexandra's life.[227][230][231]

In March 1905, Alexandra made an official state visit to Portugal accompanied by her daughters Victoria and Maud and her son-in-law Prince Carl of Denmark, returning a visit made by the Portuguese sovereigns the prior year.[232][233][234] She met Queen Amélie and Dowager Queen Maria Pia, walked through the centre of Lisbon, and travelled to Sintra for luncheon.[232][234][235][236] Later that year, Prince Carl of Denmark was elected King of Norway as Haakon VII, making her youngest daughter Maud queen consort of an independent Norway.[237][238] During the winter of 1905 to 1906, George and Mary toured British India, and Alexandra again cared for her grandchildren.[239][240][241] King Christian IX of Denmark died in January 1906 at the age of eighty-seven.[242][243][244] In 1907, wishing to preserve their links to Denmark, Alexandra and her sister Maria Feodorovna purchased the seaside villa Hvidøre, located north of Copenhagen, as a private retreat where they spent parts of every summer.[242][245][246] In June 1908, Alexandra accompanied the king to Reval (now Tallinn, Estonia) for an official meeting with Tsar Nicholas II and the Russian imperial family, and in spring 1909 they undertook a Mediterranean cruise visiting King Victor Emmanuel III and Queen Elena of Italy in Rome.[247][248][249][250]

Edward VII denied Alexandra access to his briefing papers and excluded her from some of his foreign tours to prevent her from meddling in diplomatic matters.[251][252][253] Alexandra held an abiding distrust of Germany and of her nephew, Emperor Wilhelm II, whom she referred to in 1900 as an inward enemy.[254][255][256] In 1890, she had distributed a memorandum to cabinet ministers and senior officers warning against the proposed Heligoland-Zanzibar Treaty, pointing out the strategic significance of the North Sea island of Heligoland, which could be used either by Germany to launch an attack or by Britain to contain German aggression.[257][258][259] Although the treaty was enacted, the subsequent fortification of the island confirmed her forecast, leading historian Robert Ensor to write that Heligoland became the keystone of Germany's naval offense and defence.[260][261][262] The German newspaper Frankfurter Zeitung publicly attacked Alexandra and Empress Maria Feodorovna, characterizing them as the center of an international anti-German conspiracy.[263][264][265]

In 1910, Alexandra became the first queen consort to attend debates in the British House of Commons, sitting for two hours in the Ladies' Gallery while members discussed the Parliament Bill, which aimed to remove the legislative veto of the House of Lords.[266][267][268] Privately, she opposed the bill.[269][270][271] Shortly afterwards, she travelled to Corfu to visit her brother King George I of Greece.[272][273][274] While abroad, she received word that King Edward had fallen gravely ill with chronic bronchitis and heart complications.[272][273][274] She returned to London on 5 May, arriving only hours before the king died on the night of 6 May 1910.[272][273][274] During his final hours, she personally administered oxygen from a cylinder to ease his breathing and permitted his mistress, Alice Keppel, to visit his bedside.[150][153][272][273] She told Lord Esher and Frederick Ponsonby that she felt turned into stone and unable to grasp the loss.[275][276][277] By her orders, the king's body remained in his private apartments for the next eight days, where small groups of relatives and friends were admitted.[278][279] Later in 1910, she vacated Buckingham Palace and returned to Marlborough House, while retaining personal ownership of Sandringham House.[280][281][282]

Queen mother

Upon Edward's death, Alexandra became queen mother, holding the official style of Her Majesty Queen Alexandra.[283][284] She chose not to attend the coronation of her son George V and daughter-in-law Queen Mary in Westminster Abbey on 22 June 1911, as British custom discouraged a crowned queen consort from attending the coronation of another monarch, but she sent her son a maternal blessing.[285][286][287] When George V and Mary travelled to India for the Delhi Durbar in late 1911, Alexandra supervised the royal grandchildren.[287][288] In 1912, marking the fiftieth anniversary of her arrival in the United Kingdom, she established Alexandra Rose Day, an annual charitable campaign where female volunteers sold artificial wild roses made by disabled workers to benefit voluntary hospitals.[285][289][290] The running of the event is now entrusted to her great-granddaughter, Princess Alexandra of Kent. In March 1913, her brother King George I of Greece was assassinated in Thessaloniki, and she urged George V to support Balkan interests against the Ottoman Empire, coordinating British Red Cross medical supplies to Greece during the Balkan Wars.[291][292]

During the First World War, public opposition emerged against hanging the heraldic banners of German princes and monarchs invested with the Order of the Garter in St George's Chapel at Windsor.[293][294][295] Alexandra joined the calls to remove the German banners, but she was dismayed when the king took down not only the Prussian banners but also those of her Hessian relatives, who in her opinion were simply soldiers or vassals under the German Emperor's orders.[293] She opposed the dismissal of Prince Louis of Battenberg from his post as First Sea Lord in October 1914 over his German birth, praising his honorable service to Britain.[296][297][298][299] She corresponded with her nephew King Christian X of Denmark about the possibility of holding peace talks in Copenhagen once hostilities ceased, though she emphasized that Germany had to be defeated first.[300][301] Alexandra visited military hospitals across London, speaking with wounded soldiers and nursing staff.[302][303] In 1915, while at Sandringham, her residence experienced an air raid from German Zeppelins.[304][305] Alexandra also looked after her youngest grandchild, Prince John, who suffered from severe epilepsy and lived at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate with his nurse; after his death in 1919, she arranged for his burial in the churchyard of St Mary Magdalene beside her infant son Alexander John.[306][307][308][309]

In July 1918, the Bolsheviks executed Tsar Nicholas II, his wife Alexandra Feodorovna, their five children, and their domestic retainers at the Ipatiev House in Yekaterinburg, news of which reached Alexandra in September through a letter from her son.[310][311] Alexandra successfully lobbied George V to arrange the evacuation of her sister, Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna, who was trapped in Crimea with family members.[312][313] In March 1919, the British battleship HMS Marlborough arrived at Yalta, evacuating the Romanov survivors across the Black Sea.[312][313][314] Alexandra met her sister in London on 8 May 1919, and the British Crown established an annual allowance of £10,000 for Maria, who lived at Marlborough House for several months before settling permanently at their shared Danish residence, Villa Hvidøre.[315][316][317][318]

Final years and death

In the early 1920s, Alexandra attended several family weddings, including that of her grandson the Duke of York to Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, that of Louis Mountbatten to Edwina Ashley in the summer of 1922, and that of Louise Mountbatten to Crown Prince Gustav of Sweden in November 1923.[319][320] Alexandra's physical health deteriorated significantly after the war.[321][322][323] She ceased all travel abroad, adopted heavy cosmetics and dark veils to hide facial wrinkles, leading observers to describe her face as looking enamelled.[15][16][17][322] In 1920, a blood vessel burst in her eye, causing temporary partial blindness, and her speech and memory declined in her final years.[324][325][326][327][328][329] Despite her infirmities, she followed political events in Denmark, arguing strongly in 1920 that Flensburg should be returned to Denmark alongside Northern Schleswig after the post-war plebiscites.[330][331]

Princess Victoria remained her constant caregiver, while Queen Olga of Greece, then resident in London, visited her regularly.[332][333][334] On 15 November 1925, Alexandra went on a final carriage drive around Sandringham.[335][336] The following day, doctors issued an official bulletin reporting that she had suffered multiple heart attacks.[335][336] She died at 5:25 pm on 20 November 1925 at Sandringham House, aged eighty, in the presence of King George V, Queen Mary, her three daughters, and her grandson Prince Henry.[335][336][337] Her coffin was initially placed in the church at Sandringham before being transported from Wolferton railway station to London.[338] A funeral service was conducted at Westminster Abbey on 27 November by Randall Davidson, Archbishop of Canterbury, attended by King George V, King Albert I of the Belgians, King Christian X of Denmark, and King Haakon VII of Norway.[338] She was interred at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, on 28 November 1925, and on 22 April 1927 her remains and those of Edward VII were placed within a permanent white marble tomb executed by sculptor Bertram Mackennal.[2][339]

Cultural impact and personal interests

Alexandra had a strong influence on fashion.[340] To conceal a small scar on her neck resulting from a childhood surgical operation on her glands, she wore high-necked collars, choker necklaces, and jewelled collars, establishing a style widely copied across Europe for over fifty years.[341][342][343][344][345][346] Following her bout of rheumatic fever in 1867, which left her with a stiffened joint and a limping gait, society women imitated her walk, a trend labelled by contemporary commentators as the 'Alexandra limp'.[340][347][348][349][350][351] She patronized British fashion houses, especially Redfern, while occasionally ordering couture garments from Jacques Doucet and Fromont in Paris.[352][353][354] She frequently favoured pale blue, lilac, and silver-grey fabrics, while showing thrift in her private wardrobe by having stockings darned and recycling older dresses as furniture upholstery.[352][353][354][355][356]

Her financial affairs were managed by Sir Dighton Probyn VC, the treasurer to Edward VII and later Comptroller to Queen Alexandra, because she lacked understanding of budgeting.[357][358][359] Her grandson Edward, Duke of Windsor, recalled that her generosity caused difficulty for her advisers, as she routinely sent cheques in response to written begging appeals without investigating whether the requests were genuine, brushing aside protests regarding her expenditures by waving her hand or pretending her deafness prevented her from hearing.[360][361][362][363][364][365] During the Mahdist War in Sudan, she collected private subscriptions to purchase the hospital river launch Alexandra to transport the wounded, and during the Second Boer War she helped outfit the hospital ship The Princess of Wales and founded Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service under Royal Warrant.[167][169][366][367] During Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897, she organised and funded a celebratory feast for 40,000 poor residents of London.[167][169]

Beginning in the late 1880s, Alexandra became a passionate collector of creations by the Russian jeweller House of Fabergé, introduced to the firm by her sister Maria Feodorovna.[368][369] Between 1902 and 1914, she purchased Fabergé pieces totalling £3,197 from the firm's London branch, buying ornamental hardstone animals, miniature enamel boxes, and botanical flower studies modelled in rock crystal and gold.[370][371] She assembled a collection of Fabergé flowers, which now forms part of the Royal Collection, and displayed her acquisitions in the private apartments of Sandringham House, creating what was known as the Sandringham Commission.[370][372][373][374][375] Following Edward VII's death, she returned a blue enamel and diamond-set snake cigarette case presented to the king by Alice Keppel back to the mistress, a piece that Keppel's family later presented to Queen Mary in 1936.[376][377][378]

Numerous institutions and geographic features bear her name.[379][380] Alexandra Palace and Alexandra Park in north London were named in her honour following her wedding in 1863, and the Greater London area includes sixty-seven roads and avenues named after her.[380][381][382][383] The football club Crewe Alexandra F.C. in Cheshire was named after her upon its founding in 1877.[379][384] In 1907, the Royal Alexandra Theatre was constructed in Toronto, Canada, as the continent's first royal theatre by royal letters patent.[385] The Queen Alexandra Bridge over the River Wear in Sunderland opened in 1909.[386] During the 1908 Summer Olympics in London, Alexandra asked that the marathon start in the palace garden and finish in front of the box seats in the stadium, so the planned route of about 26 miles from Windsor Castle to the Shepherd's Bush stadium was extended by 385 yards, giving the distance of 42.195 kilometres still used today. Natural features named for her include the Queen Alexandra Range and the Alexandra Mountains in Antarctica, while the world's largest butterfly, Queen Alexandra's birdwing (Troides alexandrae), discovered in Papua New Guinea in 1906, and the princess parrot (Polytelis alexandrae) in Australia were named in her honour.[387] On 8 June 1932, the Queen Alexandra Memorial by sculptor Alfred Gilbert was unveiled at Marlborough Gate in London, accompanied by the performance of an ode composed by Sir Edward Elgar with lyrics by John Masefield.[388][389][390][391][392]

Honours and arms

Alexandra was appointed a Member First Class of the Royal Order of Victoria and Albert in 1863, a Dame of Justice of the Most Venerable Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem in 1876, and a Companion of the Imperial Order of the Crown of India on 8 January 1878.[393][394] On 12 February 1901, she was invested as a Royal Lady of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, and her Garter banner was hung in St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, where it remained throughout her lifetime despite objections from Garter Principal King of Arms Sir Albert Woods.[212][395] On 1 January 1918, she was appointed a Dame Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.[396][397]

Her foreign decorations included Dame of the Royal Order of Queen Saint Isabel of Portugal (23 June 1863), Dame Grand Cross of the Imperial Order of Saint Catherine of Russia (25 May 1865), Dame of the Order of Queen Maria Luisa of Spain (11 February 1872), Dame First Class of the Order of Louise of Prussia (1886), Dame of the Grand Ducal Hessian Order of the Golden Lion (1 July 1889), and Dame Grand Cross in Brilliants of the Austrian Imperial Order of Elizabeth (1904).[398][399][400][401][402][403][404][405][406][407] In June 1902, following her husband's accession, she received the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Precious Crown of Japan, the Imperial Order of the Sun for Ladies First Class from the Qajar Empire of Persia, and the Grand Cordon of the Order of Charity of the Ottoman Empire.[408][409][410]

Upon Edward VII's accession in 1901, Queen Alexandra was granted arms combining the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom impaled with the dynastic arms of her father, King Christian IX of Denmark.[411][412][413] The shield is surrounded by the Garter and its motto Honi soit qui mal y pense.[414] It is surmounted by the imperial crown.[411] The dexter supporter is the crowned golden lion of England, and the sinister supporter is a savage or wild man from the royal arms of Denmark, bearing a club.[411][414][415] The Danish sinister half features the silver cross of the Dannebrog on red, with quarters for Denmark, Schleswig, the Kalmar Union, the Faroe Islands, Greenland, the Kingdom of the Goths, and the Kingdom of the Vandals, overlaid with an inescutcheon displaying the quarters of Holstein, Stormarn, Dithmarschen, and Lauenburg, surmounted by a central inescutcheon of Oldenburg and Delmenhorst.[414]

Issue and ancestry

Alexandra and Edward VII had six children.[108][109] Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, was born on 8 January 1864, was engaged to Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, and died of influenza on 14 January 1892, leaving no children. King George V was born on 3 June 1865, married Princess Victoria Mary of Teck in 1893, had five sons and a daughter including Edward VIII and George VI, and died on 20 January 1936. Louise, Princess Royal, was born on 20 February 1867, married Alexander Duff, 1st Duke of Fife, on 27 July 1889, had two surviving daughters, and died on 4 January 1931.[416] Princess Victoria was born on 6 July 1868, remained unmarried as her mother's lifelong companion, and died on 3 December 1935.[417] Princess Maud was born on 26 November 1869, married her first cousin Prince Carl of Denmark (later King Haakon VII of Norway) on 22 July 1896, had one son, King Olav V of Norway, and died on 20 November 1938.[418] Prince Alexander John was born on 6 April 1871 and died the next day, being interred at the church of St Mary Magdalene in Sandringham.[145][146]

Through her father, Christian IX of Denmark, Alexandra was a granddaughter of Friedrich Wilhelm, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg, and Princess Louise Caroline of Hesse-Kassel, and a great-granddaughter of Friedrich Karl Ludwig, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Beck, Countess Friederike von Schlieben, Landgrave Charles of Hesse-Kassel, and Princess Louise of Denmark.[2][419] Through her mother, Princess Louise of Hesse-Kassel, she was a granddaughter of Prince William of Hesse-Kassel and Princess Charlotte of Denmark, and a great-granddaughter of Prince Frederick of Hesse-Kassel, Princess Caroline of Nassau-Usingen, Hereditary Prince Frederick of Denmark, and Duchess Sophia Frederica of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.[2][419] These connections linked her closely to the royal houses of Great Britain, Prussia, Russia, and the Netherlands.[2][420]
