Queen Consort Alexandra | Her TURBULENT Life

Alexandra of Denmark went from rags-to-riches, she became a royal as well as the most unlikeliest fashion icon of all time.

She lived a turbulent life of tragedy alongside immense privilege, it is thought that she even caused a limping pandemic in London. Throughout the years, her fortunes and outfits changed but tragedy was never far away with compounding drama and scandal filling her life.

I will explore the life of Alexandra and how she rose from a dismal life sleeping in a dusty old attic to becoming the queen consort of Britain and living in a palace.

Alexandra was born royal, albeit a fairly poor one but she certainly was not a "most unlikely fashion icon" - she was beautiful of face and figure and had great taste.

Princess Alexandra and Prince Edward (called Bertie) met by Royal arrangement in September 1861 and by December 1861, her pregnancy was obvious and Prince Albert furiously confronted his son Bertie, passing shortly after.
The confrontation was hushed up by announcing that Bertie just had a dalliance with an actress.
Alexandra was sent to South Africa where she met the intended foster parents and in June 1862, their son was born, unannounced, baptized with an assumed name and sadly abandoned.
Alexandra returned home to become engaged to Bertie and eventually they married, thus legitimising their eldest son, whose descendants have irrefutable DNA evidence of their zero distance between them and the Royal Family.
The current Monarch would seem to prefer that this secret remain a secret, as efforts to publicize have been seemingly obstructed.

Her wedding was subdued bc Prince Albert had just died and they were still in mourning. I don’t believe Alexandra had to “wait tables.” I’ve read a few books about her and King Edward VII and I’ve never heard that. She was never the “Queen Mother, ” as her SON was King, not Queen. She actually called Alice Keppel to Edward’s deathbed to say goodbye, not shooed her away. I’m shocked you made no (at least I didn’t catch it) that she was almost completely deaf from birth. That’s a pretty big hardship to leave out. I think you did a great job but nowadays so many young people are watching these videos from people for have very limited knowledge on the subject manner, rather than reading books written by historians and getting incorrect facts. It’s a concerning trend in general. I only know these things because I’ve read A LOT about this subject matter. Like A LOT. I’m not trying to be a “hater.” I’m just assuming people who watch these are interested in the actual facts, so here are some of the corrections. But as you do a lot of these videos, you obviously can’t know the ins and outs of every single person you cover.
