"Princess Alix was twenty and highly marriageable, and gossip began circulating about a possible match between her and the young Prince George, second son of Bertie, Prince of Wales. Three years previously, a surprisingly determined young Alix had vigorously resisted the queen's attempt to marry her off to Bertie's heir, Eddy, Duke of Clarence. Victoria had been extremely put out that Alix, by then in love with Nicky, should turn down the opportunity of being a future queen of the United Kingdom. As the last of the four daughters of the House of Hesse yet to be married, Alix's prospects were hardly the best. Never mind; perhaps she could be persuaded to marry George instead, thought the queen, particularly once the unfortunate Eddy succumbed to pneumonia in January 1892. It didn't work; Alix was adamant, and when George settled instead for Eddy's disconsolate fiancee May of Teck, it soon became evident where Alix's affections were firmly fixed. She only had eyes for the Russian tsarevich. Queen Victoria's anxiety at the prospect of such a marriage mounted. She had been highly mistrustful of Russia since the Crimean War, looking upon Britain's former enemy as 'false' and 'unfriendly' and much of its population 'half oriental'. Russia was "a corrupt country, where you can trust no one." She fired off exhortatory letters to Alix's eldest sister Victoria, demanding she and Ernie intervene to prevent it: "for the younger sister to marry the son of an Emperor — would never answer, and lead to no happiness… The state of Russia is so bad, so rotten that any moment something dreadful might happen."

This cream-colored dressing gown with golden flowers was first worn in 2017 by Alix Poisson as Margaret of York in Maximilian: Das Spiel von Macht und Liebe (Maximilian and Marie De Bourgogne). Jodie Comer wore it again that same year as Elizabeth of York in The White Princess.

”After it was all over, looking into the beddroom, Lady Macclesfield saw Alix and Bertie weeping together on the bed. Bertie's devotion and tenderness towards his wife was touching to behold.” The birth of Albert Victor on January 8th 1864 described in

Bertie: A life of Edward VII

And from the moment Albert Victor, referred as Eddy, was born, he would forever be adored by his young mother. Just as he adored her.

”From the time her first-born [Prince Albert Victor]'s legs were strong enough to carry him any distance she [Queen Alexandra] liked to go for long walks alone with him at Sandrigham, and as soon as he was big enough, he would take her arm or put his arm round her waist. [...] The eldest himself perhaps the best summed up the relationship with his mother in his own words, to one of those of looked after him when young. 'Mama is so nice', said he. 'She's fond of everything I like. There's nobody like mama.'”

Alexandra: Edward VII’s Unpredictable Queen, E.E.P Tisdall

When Eddy tragically passed away at the age of 28 in 1892 it was devastating for Alexandra and she was never to get over losing him, once saying, "I have buried my angel and with him my happiness."

Alexandra, Dagmar and Thyra.

There is no doubt that Queen Alexandra's mother [Queen Louise of Denmark] was a very charming and remarkable woman, and her daughters will readily admit that neither of them has inherited all her gifts, which appear, indeed, to have been divided amongst them. Alexandra has her mother's taste for music, her strong maternal instincts, and excelled her in beauty; Dagmar has inherited more of her faculty and intellectual gifts; while Thyra resembled her most in charm of manner and love of home-life.

The life of Queen Alexandra by Sarah A. Tooley

#then there's another story they were once discussing the future and each told her wish #dagmar wanted influence and power thyra to be clever and alix to be loved 🥺#their father said alix was 'the fairest' dagmar 'the cleverest' and thyra 'the kindest'#queen alexandra #empress maria feodorovna #crown princess thyra of hanover
