The above photograph, it may be added, was taken outside Sandringham Church on the occasion of Queen Alexandra's funeral, as the group of royal mourners were leaving the church after the private service, on November 26, 1925. (Source: The Illustrated Londen News, Jan. 25, 1936)
I think the photograph has been retouched and probably Maud or Toria was walking next to Queen Mary. Would love to see the audentical photograph. Many of use say another picture of the royal mourners at Alexandra's funeral, the one were Maud is seen in her fashionable mourning outfit. Aldo Queen Mary's mourning ensemble was not the most fashionable one, I think she look inmensly dignified and regal. Mourning
really is impressive on royalty and ''normal'' people. An altough the circumstances aren't wishable fore anyone, mouring really suit some royalty.

Yes thank you, I was thinking the same thing! I just remembered that I have posted a photograph of Alexandra's funeral in a earlier thread. It was from the Top Foto archive and showed the unretouched version of my above posted picture, the royal mourners are walking behind the coffin of Queen Alexandra. HM Queen Maud was walking next to Queen Mary and King George and Toria infront of them. Louise Fife is walking behind her sister Maud and sister-inlaw Queen Mary. Below is the picture is was refering to in my earlier post.



The Royal Mourners from left to right: HM Queen Mary, King George V, HM Queen Maud of Norway, H.R.H. Princess Louise the Duchess of Fife and H.R.H. Princess Victoria (Toria). But I'm not shore about the last two royal ladies in mourning. Does anyone have more photographs of the royal ladies at Alexandra's funeral (Maud, Mary,Toria and Louise)?

In the illustrated magazine I have with that photo it says the last 2 are Princess Marie of Greece (Grand Duchess George of Russia) and Princess Victoria.

Thank you fore clearing that up gdella, I wasn't shore of my case. You are like a (respected) library that has and gives answers to almost everything! Have you ever say the unretouched photograph of the royal mourners behind Alexandra's coffin? Or are their any other photographs of the (female) royal mourners at Alexandra's funeral? I just found a most wonderfull photograph of the Royal mourners at Christian IX funeral in 1906, I will post it one of these days.

Thanks so much, RN.  :) I will go back and check. It's been awhile since I looked at my old issues of the funeral. There were some really good funeral photographs published in some of the magazines of the CIX funeral.
