Christian X & Queen Alexandrine

<< < (2/19) > >>

Martyn:
That was a very concise yet insightful precis of her life GDElla.  What a sensitive person she sounds.  I particularly loved your comment about her patriotism never being questioned, through two World Wars.  She must have been terribly popular.

About Alexandrine and Christian's wedding photo~
I guess the reason that Thyra's daughters were in the wedding party was because they were cousins to the groom. Do you think that was there closest connection or was there another reason for them being in the wedding.

grandduchessella:


I think the Cumberland girls being Christian's cousins was probably the link--I don't know if the Mecklenberg-Schwerins and Cumberlands socialized much since Thyra and Ernst spent so much time in Austria. All the cousins seemed to be very close so it would make sense to put those of age in the wedding.

Marc:
Any regal paintings of Queen Alexandine?

Eurohistory:
Coryne Hall, the well respected royal author, wrote an excellent article on Queen Alexandrine of Denmark for The European Royal History Journal in one of our issues a couple of years ago.
