WikiVictorian @wikivictorian · Portrait of Princess Alexandra of Denmark, later Princess Alexandra of Wales (and Queen Consort of United Kingdom). Photographed in 1862.

Carte-de-visite photograph showing full length portrait of Princess Alexandra of Denmark, turned to right, standing by chair, hands clasped together. She wears a pale coloured dress with frilled sleeves, slightly off the shoulder. When Queen Victoria and Prince Albert were considering potential brides for their eldest son, Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, the invention of photography had made it possible for them to see portraits of the young ladies before any further commitments were made…

We celebrate the dazzling style and unfaltering composure of Alexandra of Denmark, Queen-consort of King Edward VII.
