History
The eldest daughter of Christian IX of Denmark, Alexandra was married to Edward in St. George’s Chapel, Windsor, on March 10, 1863, later Edward VII of Great Britian. She was renowned for her exceptional beauty and grace. She had six children: Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence; George, Duke of York, afterward King George V; Louise, afterward Duchess of Fife; Victoria; Maud, afterward queen of Norway; and John, who died in infancy. A serious illness in 1867 left Alexandra lame and accentuated a hereditary deafness. As queen, she devoted much of her income and time to the poor and suffering; she founded the Imperial Military Nursing Service in 1902 and started Alexandra Rose Day to raise funds for British hospitals.
