Very elegant. 

[Margot]

Indeed! I agree!

I could just post 'Indeed! I agree'...but I wont stoop that low! Otherwise that would be as worthy of deletion as the quoted post IMHO!

In order to actually make my reply in some way relevant and useful to this thread and to contribute to the thread rather than just to my post tally I should point out that I believe the last Photograph was taken at the Amalienborg Palace. Does anyone know if this correct and what year it was taken?

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes. I think it was used in the Danish author's book on Alexandra. The same author also wrote the only bio of Christian IX in English for many years.

[Margot]

A most marvelous book that I includes an abundance of photographs including I the aforementioned photograph of Alexandra taken at the Amalienborg is 'Edward VII an Queen Alexandra: a biography in words and pictures' by Helmut and Alison Gernsheim!

[Eric_Lowe]

It isthe one who wrote Christian IX.

Queen Alexandra in all her coronation finery. The dress was all gold and made by Indian material.

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

Her dress was really beautiful indeed, interesting information about how it was made

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes. It was Alexandra who decided what to wear. The Indian material indicated a regret that she never got to visit that country.

[Yelena Aleksandrovna]

She had a good taste, happily that she could decide by herself and no one decided it for her, she looked perfect :-O
