She was a long suffering heroine. She somehow tolerated Edwards rampant infidelity and even allowed his mistress to be at his deathbed. Duty before all else. RIP Alex
Or after a time she didn't give a damn... She was a hands on mother at at time and in a class when and where it was unheard of so she may have been happy for him to sleep around and let her be only an affectionate partner. She administered oxygen to her husband when he was dying and she wrote a friend : "I feel as if I had been turned into stone, unable to cry, unable to grasp the meaning of it all."
@@zzzbbbooo oh please don’t be so childish and join the real World. What do YOU know about the dynamic of a relationship that ended 30 years ago. I’ll tell you just so you’re clear. You know NOTHING
She's where the good looks of George VI and some of George V children came from. The also look like Queen Mary, but better looking. Also, the present Queen when she was young was striking.
The photograph at 4:49 is of Queen Alexandra of Great Britain who is in the center. The lady on the left of the picture is Alexandra's daughter princess Victoria of Great Britain. The other lady on the right of the picture is Alexandra's sister Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia. Three great ladies of European royalty.
Daniel Jr and how do you know someone is beautiful by a fact? they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder so for some Queen Victoria is beautiful while Alexandra of Denmark is not
Alexandra is by far my favorite roya. I will say this though while of course I feel sorry for her in the fact her feelings must have been hurt a lot with Edwards philandering all the time. But she had a very nice life in comparison to most of her subjects at the time who were impoverished .
Alexandra was considered one of the great beauties in Europe at the time, although almost contemporaneous with another European beauty, Elisabeth ("the Beautiful Sisi") who married Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria-Hungary. But back to Alexandra, as time went by, she tended to drop out of public, but less due to aging than to increasing hard of hearing. She also had a pronounced limp. Both she and her sister, Dagmar (who as Maria Feodorovna married Tsar Alexander III, was mother to Nicholas II, and was the last dowger empress of Russia), were both extremely anti-German their entire lives due to Germany's invasion and occupation of Schleswig-Holstein, which had previously belonged to Denmark.
Alexandra and Diana had many similarities.Both beautiful, not well educated, kind-hearted, fashion-setters, interested in charitable causes, extremely popular, Both became mothers of future kings, and both had philandering husbands. And there it ends. Diana had a dysfunctional family, Alexandra came from a very happy home.Diana divorced and died young. Alexandra stayed with hubby , became Queen, and lived to a ripe age.
they not similarities. Diana did what she want. not her duty. Alexandra did her duty. even she did not like it. Diana did not like it. she did not do it
@@lsmith9249 Charles was a womanizer in his youth yet he chose a naive virgin girl as his broodmare and thought he could control her. And he continued his affair with his mistress Camilla shortly after their marriage. So I don’t think Diana should be blamed for seeking love some where else if her so-called husband was giving her none from the beginning.
@@vivianebeget Duty is not to keep your mouth shut and let your husband ruin your life. Diana was well-aware of her duty as the mother of the future king and did everything in her power to ensure that William would ascend the throne one day. Yet she decided to quit a loveless marriage and no one blames her for that.
una hermosa mujer y según su biografía... una mujer muy bondadosa a quien a diferencia de la reina Victoria y el príncipe de Gales, fue muy querida por los británicos... hermosa muy hermosa. Excelente vídeo.
She looks like Uma Thurman. I like to take a Time Machine and have a date with her in Dennnark. Long before Bertie came along. I felt sorry for her. She deserved 100% devotion. Fine lady😍!
Alexandra's life is what Diana rejected for herself: a life of long-suffering patience in the face of her husband's infidelities. One might say: "please, Alexandra lived in a different era." I say: "Nothing is new under the sun." I can't help but imagine what could have been Diana's had she repeated this beautiful Queen's example: a literal crown; a longer life; two sons who would still have their mother; the deep admiration of people around the world; confirmation of the inner beauty in her---just as the comments here acclaim Alexandra's beauty outside and her beauty within.
Jane Aston Not at all, I am sorry. He was older and already the person he was to be. Lets take away fairytale here. If he was not Prince of Wales, but a farmer down the road, gardener or something same looks and mind, there was no way he was her type!!!! Nor was she his type, pretty but immature and non intellectual. But the pressure on him in those days to marry a virgin...... Her chosen lovers, lets face it, were very different to Charles!!!!!
One of the most beautiful women of Victorian times...she was wise enough to invent the fashion of pearl chokers-collars, a good way of hiding the aging otherwise visible on her neck.
I have a biography of Alexandra and now I'm really looking forward to reading it! What an unusual picture at 2:16 that shows Alexandra with her hair down. I wonder what the occasion was. Maybe someone else can verify this but I've read that after King Edward's funeral, Queen Alexandra shared her carriage with Alice Keppel who had been Edward's long-time mistress. The Queen was a remarkable woman that she would grieve together with "the other woman".---Very interesting how the royal families are connected. It may have been in the book "Victoria's Daughters" where I read that even though Prince Philip the husband of Queen Elizabeth II is of Greek origin, had he not married then Princess Elizabeth he might have become king of Denmark. Again if someone knows more about this it would be good to get their input.
Andrew Brendan from the high middle ages to the interwar period, European royalty had morphed into an ethnic group, or tribe, unto itself. Distinctions of "Greek", "Russian", "German", etc. are constantly used but don't really apply. As for Alix's hair, it is not so rare in photos such as this that were never intended for public viewing.
Andrew Brendan She didn't share a carriage with Alice Keppel, but when the King was dying she invited her to Buckingham Palace to say goodbye to him. After he died, Alexandra gave Alice back a Fabergé cigarette case that Alice had given the king. In turn Alice left it to Queen Mary, and it's still in the Royal collection.
Andrew Brendan By the way, Philip wouldn't have become king of Denmark, even though closely related. The Danish Royal Family had sufficient heirs already. I find it interesting that he is often called Philip the Greek when really he isn't Greek at all, the Greek Royal Family being Danish
Andrew Brendan I read a lot about royalty. I am reading a biography about Queen Mary and Alexandra is in it as well. I'm going to review it on my channel soon. Do you review books on your channel?
@Kenesu B Just so that you know. Alexandra's youngest son john also died. He was born and died in the same year 1871 which was 21yrs before the death of Alexandra's oldest son in 1892.
She was and still is the longest bearer of the title of Princess of Wales, for over 37 years. If Princess Diana stayed married to Charles and didn’t died, she would have taken over that mantle from Alexandra at 39 years and still counting.
Linda Rainha Alexandra da Dinamarca!amo ela...aqui no Brazil,saiu um livro sobre imperatrizes e rainhas,e neste livro tinha um capítulo q falava sobre ela...E sobre sua irmã,que foi imperatriz da Rússia...Que elas estejam na paz de Deus
The photo on 3:22 is Princess Alice with her hessian family. I like your videos but I would prefer no zooming. it makes it hard to concentrate on the photos, which is a pitty.
She was quite deaf. But one VERY bad habit she had was in always being late. They had to keep the clocks a half hour forward so they could at least try to get to important functions almost on time. A psychologist once said that people who do that (always being late or making the people around them late), that this was the person's way of maintaining some control. A lady in waiting of Queen Alexandra was going to get married and the Queen begged her to postpone the wedding so she could attend. The Queen had to be somewhere else at the time (I don't remember where).So the young woman postponed her wedding for six months and then she sent a wedding invitation to the Queen, the Queen gushed her thanks and appreciation and promised her Lady in Waiting that she'd be there with bells on. Well, the big day arrived everyone had assembled at the church and so they waited. For THREE hours they waited but the Queen never showed so the wedding took place without her and everyone of course was annoyed and more than a little po'd at the Queen's behavior. Probably the ones who were very angry and hurt was the bride and groom. Putting off their wedding for six months and for nothing. The Queen as far as I know,never apologized or gave a plausible explanation for her lack of common courtesy and consideration for all the trouble she gave to her Lady in Waiting. When people talk about how much she suffered with her husband's infidelities I remember this incident. 🤨
She also forbade one of her daughters to marry just so that daughter could stay her personal secretary of the sort. And that daughter was very pretty, had many suitors and could easily get married.
I picture Him eating all he wants and messing around with all who he wants. She stayed faithful and watched her diet.He was a glutton and didn't deserve her.
Beautiful 0:43, 1:13, 1:32, 1:42; reminds very much, with that upwards sideways glance 1:50, of the last Princess of Wales, Diana, especially during her early years of fending off paparazzi. Three couples 2:31 of seemingly similar age, would these be the three closely related by marriages and sibling relationships pairing off either as three couples or as two English princes, two Danish princesses and a Russian royal pair of brother and sister? Wish there were subtitles identifying the individuals 2:34, 3:09. Quoted from a comment by rutejack:- "The picture at 3:23 is not of Queen Alexandra, but Princess Alice (Queen Victoria's second daughter) with her husband and children." Responding to a comment below, by paixx12:- "Alexandra's life is what Diana rejected for herself: a life of long-suffering patience in the face of her husband's infidelities.

There is as much written against Alexandra as against Diana, mostly for identical reasons - women are seen as playthings and when a male with power and wealth prefers an ugly one, the beautiful wife is a target; but in this case there is another reason, of caste. Both Alexandra and Diana were "different" from the family they married into. Alexandra is seen as "not quite", not against her husband's other dalliance but against other women in the position, chiefly her daughter in law who was a close relative of the family. Diana was young and wanted the fairy tale she was rooted into, rather than the dogs and horses and shooting that goes with the caste. Responding to an insidiously poisonous comment below by someone against Diana:- This propaganda by royal train against Diana with innuendos a la "his type, pretty but immature and non intellectual.", because he was an Oxford professor with a Nobel promise in physics, of course! How fraudulent can they get! A male of thirty one excused for destroying a young girl of nineteen because "he was pressurised to marry a virgin", so she was bumped of after the heir and spare, and now he can force Britain to lump it when his preferred one is forced down their heads via "Diana wasn't saintly" campaign about the guy who gets to be called intellectual because his affection for what amounts to his family property and tales of his predecessors! She gets to be criticised because he wasn't a Gardner, could he survive Rwanda or even East End, anywhere outside being the position of the expected next king since birth? No. As to her preferred lovers being different, she wasn't exactly allowed the freedom to meet anyone in peace and privacy, and few go around the globe to search for real love at that, most are forced to pick from what's around. Nevertheless if rumours are true her picks included some much higher guys - a brilliant surgeon, an esoteric film maker whose film is highly regarded, and the current rumour includes a sympathetic Prince too. His pick, another wallis, but an English one.

Edward was great king. have mistress not mean you bad good king, If his Mother gave him duty stop put him down , would not have mistress. did bad thing His Mother put him down was little boy His Father did same.
Princess Diana and queen Alexandra are two most beautiful ladies in the British royal family,the only difference between them is Alexandra enjoyed a very long life time and a peaceful ending
Nice video but I can't understand why you feel the need to gallop through the pictures!?! Alexandra was lovely, beautiful figure but a real airhead and according to her son the most selfish person he ever met.
George did say that but it was more in response to her chronic lateness, the way she thought nothing of keeping people waiting, rather than her not being a good person. He was deeply attached to her. I do think she was selfish in the way she tried to keep her daughters single and with her rather than encouraging them to have their own families though. At least two of the three did eventually marry.
@@hrhjrd I think it's Eddy, her elder son, who died in 1892 though it doesn't look like him. I've seen the photo labelled as Eddy's deathbed several times.
She was the most beautiful, statuesque woman. Her genes made The Queen, and Princess Margaret etc as beautiful as they were when they were young
Yes and some Alexandra's son's children, like George VI. He looked like Queen Mary, too but far better looking.
She was a long suffering heroine. She somehow tolerated Edwards rampant infidelity and even allowed his mistress to be at his deathbed. Duty before all else. RIP Alex

Pitam se koliko bi muškaraca postupilo kao kraljica Aleksandra, da pozove zeninog dugogodišnjeg ljubavnika da se oprosti sa njom u času umiranja...???
A stunningly beautiful woman.
The fashions of her day and her own style complimented her beauty so well too.
The Princess Diana of her day. Beautiful, kindly, involved in charity, adoring mother, and an adulterous husband.
Ten times the woman Diana was and D was MUCH more adulterous than her husband ever was

I guess Alexandra is the prettiest queen consort before Diana....both Alix and Diana are much pretty for their husbands ....
Daniel Jr Mary Tudor, the French Queen and later Duchess of Brandon was consideres a great beauty!
but you said the British have never produced a beautiful Queen and you are wrong
Daniel Jr and how do you know someone is beautiful by a fact? they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder so for some Queen Victoria is beautiful while Alexandra of Denmark is not

She aged well, beautiful and a fabulous figure.
Her clothes and jewelry were stunning, especially her wedding gown and veil.
Simply brilliant collection of images best seen slow imho and deep thanks.
This was a nice video...despite all the trappings of royalty, Alexandra was a truly beautiful and kind woman.
Is her husband had a lot of mistress? one of them was a Camilla's great grandma?
True, all of it. History repeats itself.
Yes Alice keppel
Funny the bad thot genes runs through to Charles and Camilla from their ancestors lol

Princess Diana and queen Alexandra are two most beautiful ladies in the British royal family,the only difference between them is Alexandra enjoyed a very long life time and a peaceful ending
wow she was beautiful!! what happened with her grandchildren
Pamela Meadows One became King Edward VIII and one became King George VI. I think one became Queen of Sweden but can't remember about all of them.
@@mscott3918 Her daughter Maud became queen of Norway.
Louise, queen of Sweden, was daughter of princess Victoria of Hesse and by Rhine.

3:24 that's not Alexandra its her sister in law alice
so she saw the queen elizabeth the 2 before she passed away? wow that's cool
No, sadly she didn't. She died in November 1925 and Elizabeth was born in April 1926.
Nope
She looks terrified in all those pictures
Thomas Porter I think that maybe because cameras were still fairly new and one had to stay still for some minutes to get a clear picture
Was she related to her husband?
Yes
Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom?
goes by too fast.

I dont like those robes of the (especially 2nd half) of the 19th century. Extremely heavy and unsexy. Worst fashion of whole history those days

omg🤣
Nice video but I can't understand why you feel the need to gallop through the pictures!?!
Alexandra was lovely, beautiful figure but a real airhead and according to her son the most selfish person he ever met.
ItsJoan NotJoann ...Sounds about right for someone married so many years to a philanderer.
George did say that but it was more in response to her chronic lateness, the way she thought nothing of keeping people waiting, rather than her not being a good person. He was deeply attached to her. I do think she was selfish in the way she tried to keep her daughters single and with her rather than encouraging them to have their own families though. At least two of the three did eventually marry.

I am guessing that might be Alexandra's father Christian IX
@@hrhjrd I think it's Eddy, her elder son, who died in 1892 though it doesn't look like him. I've seen the photo labelled as Eddy's deathbed several times.
