Hello😁 can you share your favorite queens?

Thank you for the great ask anon, of course! 🥰

#1: Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom – (nèe Princess Alexandra of Denmark, "Alix".

— She was beautiful, a warm and caring mother/grandmother, was popular as Princess of Wales and Queen Consort among of her people because of her good nature, and she supported many charities, including her own: "Alexandra Rose Day", founded by Queen Alexandra in 1912, this was a charity where flowers were being sold and all the money went to supporting Londoners in poverty. This was inspired by a priest in her native Denmark selling roses to raise money for those in need, Queen Alexandra brought the idea back to the United Kingdom. ❤✨

#2: Queen Anne Boleyn of England – (nèe Lady Anne Boleyn)

— She was intelligent, funny, caring and kind to all of people, and as her two years as Queen Consort she supported many charities, and even "gave alms to the poor, provided for widows, and even sewed shirts and smocks for the needy". She also helped with promoting new educational identities for monasteries, which were no longer under the protection of the Catholic Church. After only two years of being Queen Consort when she was said to have been 35 years old, she was executed after being imprisoned in the Tower of London for 17 days because she was accused of committing treason, but the true reason she was executed was because she failed to give King Henry VIII a male heir. ☹️💔

#3: Queen Marie Sophie of the Two Sicilies – (nèe Duchess Marie Sophie in Bavaria)

— She was beautiful, bright, and fierce. She was given the nickname the "Warrior Queen", the "Heroine of Gaeta" and the "modern Joan of Arc", rallying the troops, nursing the injured, feeding her forces at her own table and taunting Garibaldi's army from the battlements with the words; "Go ahead and shoot me. I will be where my men are". It was said of her that the Queen would "wipe your brow if you were wounded or hold you in her arms while you die". ❤️‍🔥👑

#4: Queen Marie Antoinette of France – (nèe Archduchess Marie Antoinette of Austria)

— She was honest, lovable, bold, a social butterfly who loved gambling, partying and extravagant fashions. Growing up she was closest with her sister, Maria Carolina, who was three years older, and with whom she had a lifelong close relationship. As Queen, Marie Antoinette was always unpopular, she spent lavishly, but her extravagance was only a minor cause of France's growing debt in the 1770-80s. Because of Louis XVI's indecisiveness, Marie played an increasingly prominent political role. But was very beloved for her charitable activities and patronage of the arts. She supported various charitable organizations and institutions, and she was also a benefactress of the poor. 💞🎀

#5: Queen Lovisa of Denmark – (nèe Lovisa of Sweden)

— She was described as intelligent, with an ability to be natural, easy and friendly. And As Queen, she was mainly known for her many charity projects, an interest that she shared with her spouse. She did not care for ceremonial duties and public events, and lived a discreet life dedicated to her children and her interests in art, literature and charity. After a short tenure of only six years as Queen, she was widowed in 1912.

#6: Queen Alexandrine of Denmark – (nèe Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin)

— She was reticent by nature. Her childhood was characterised by regular sporting activities, and from a young age she played the piano to a high standard. Her great interest in music stayed with her for her entire life and was passed on to her equally musical eldest son, Prince Frederik (IX). As of her first years as Queen, she had difficulty getting used to public attention, and she preferred to avoid the media limelight, but performed her functions in an exemplary manner. In the home her presence was crucial for the two boys, since Christian X was known for surrounding himself with a certain atmosphere of the barracks. Queen Alexandrine undertook extensive charity work until her death and was an avid golf player and photographer, who also loved doing needlework to a high standard. 💫

#7: Queen Margherita of Italy – (nèe Margherita of Savoy)

— She was described as sensitive, proud and with a strong force of will without being hard, as well as having the ability to be charming when she chose to. As to her appearance, she was described as a tall, stately blonde, but she was not regarded as a beauty. As Queen, she worked to protect the monarchy against republicans and socialists, and she gathered a circle of conservative intellectuals and artists known as the "Circolo della Regina" (Circle of the Queen) in her famous literary salon known as "Giovedì Della Regina" (Queen's Thursdays), where she benefited artists and writers.

#8: Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain – (nèe Princess Victoria Eugenie of Battenberg), "Ena".

— She was described as very kind but very strict and she devoted herself to work for hospitals and services for the poor, as well as to education. She also involved herself in the reorganization of the Spanish Red Cross. In 1929, the city of Barcelona erected a statue of her in a nurse's uniform in honour of her Red Cross work and since the the statue has been destroyed.

#9: Queen Elena of Italy – (nèe Elena of Montenegro)

— She was described as shy and reserved but also rather stubborn. Very attached to traditions, with a sensitive soul and a lively and curious mind, she was endowed with a strong love for nature: her favourite flower was the Cyclamen. She was a very tall woman of 180 cm (5'11). As Queen, her commitment to numerous charitable and welfare initiatives, which assured her great sympathy and popularity, was profuse. The Queen went well beyond mere charity: her evangelical spirit led her to practice every day the most genuine and most charitable love of neighbor.

#10: Queen Marie of Romania – (nèe Princess Marie of Edinburgh), "Missy".

— She was described as very beautiful and high spirited. As a young girl, Marie was very close with her sisters, but mostly her sister Victoria Melita, they played many games with their father and Marie's mother, the Duchess of Edinburgh neglected Marie and her sisters' education, considering them not very bright or gifted. But in the fields of painting and drawing, Marie and her sisters had inherited her grandmother, Queen Victoria's talent. On October 11th, 1914, Marie and her husband Ferdinand were acclaimed as king and Queen in the Chamber of Deputies. Princess Anne Marie Callimachi, a close friend of Marie, wrote that "as Crown Princess, she had been popular; as Queen, she was more loved". Marie maintained a certain influence on her husband and the entire court, leading historian A. L. Easterman to write that "it was not Ferdinand, but Marie who ruled in Romania".

OTMAA Contemporaries: The Italian Royal Family.

From left: Yolanda (1901) with Maria Francesca (1914), Umberto (1904), Mafalda (1902) and Giovanna (1907). Like OTMAA, there were four sisters and only one brother; but in this case, the brother was the middle child. This generation of Italian royalty did have some Romanov connections, as their mother, Queen Elena, was born a princess of Montenegro, and her sisters Militza and Anastasia had married into the Romanov family. Therefor the young Italian royals were first cousins of Roman Petrovich and his sisters Marina and Nadejda. Another aunt, Zorka, had married into the Serbian royal family, and the Italians also counted King Alexander of Serbia/Yugoslavia and his sister, Elena Petrovna, who married Prince Ioann Konstantinovich, among their cousins.

Queen Claudia of Denmark, Princess of Savoy

Her Majesty Queen Claudia, consort of Denmark, was born as the youngest daughter of Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, Prince of Venice and his wife Clotilde Courau, after her sisters Vittoria and Luisa. Her Majesty married His Majesty King Christian at the age of 25. After one year, the couple was given a gift from God with a daughter named Alexandra. Crown Princess Alexandra is currently 2 years old, and last week the royal couple announced that The Queen is pregnant again. This time twins will be born. Queen Claudia is well-known for her good heart and wisdom, but she also has awesome style and breathtaking beauty. She styles her own clothes and combines the jewelry she received from her husband's family and old Savoy pieces.

Her Danish tiara

Italian royal family dress worn by Queen Elena of Montenegro

Green Savoy necklace

Danish royal family jewelry

Those Princess Marie, Christian's aunt, gave to the Queen and I can tell that the heels fits her very much.

MAFALDA OF SAVOY // PRINCESS

“She was the second daughter of King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy and his wife Elena of Montenegro. In 1925, at the age of 22, she married the Landgrave of Hesse, Philipp. In 1943, during WWII, she imprisoned in the Buchenwald concentration camp, where she died as a result of the Allies bombing Buchenwald’s ammunition factory. Mafalda was tricked into going to the Germany Embassy, under the impression that her husband needed to speak to her. However, her husband was already imprisoned in a concentration camp, while her children were in Rome.”

Apart from the Queen of Italy, whose marriage was exceptionally brilliant, the other Princesses of Montenegro were all wedded to men with numerous advantages of position and fortune. The eldest, Militza, became the wife of the Grand Duke Peter Nicolaievitch, with whom she has been always exceptionally happy. The second, Anastasia, or Stana, after a few years of a tempestous and stormy union with Duke George of Leuchtenberg, succeeded in obtaining a divorce from him, and remarried very soon afterwards the Grand Duke Nicholas, the brother of her sister's husband and the present Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Army. As for the third one, Princess Anna, she is the consort of handsome Prince Francis Joseph of Battenberg, the brother-in-law of Princess Beatrice of Battenberg, and the most amiable man. The Princesses Xenia and Vera are still unmarried and the King is not without hope that he may yet in time arrange a union for one or the other of them with another member of the Russian Imperial Family, either one of the sons of the same Grand Duke Constantine who is the father-in-law of the Princess Hélène of Servia, or with one of the boys of Grand Duke Alexander and of the Grand Duchess Xenia, the sister of the Tsar. He has been so lucky hitherto in the establishment of his children that he is in a certain sense justified in indulging in such an ambition; and one thing is certain, and that is, that if such a marriage ever takes place it will be immensely popular in Russia, where Montenegro and its ruler are in possession of the warmest sympathies, and count far more partisans than is generally known in the rest of Europe.

Hi! Do you mind if I informed you about the so-called "engagement and sympathy" of Tatiana Nikolaevna and King Alexander of Yugoslavia. This information came across to me in Russian sources and interested me very much.

I translated it into English so that it was immediately clear :)

"Konstantin K. on January 17th [1914]. Friday. There were lessons in the morning. We had breakfast 4 with Dad, T. Ella, Alexander P. brother of Elena (Ioannchik's wife) Serbian and Kostya"So Grand Duchess Tatiana Nikolaevna writes about meeting with the "groom" and "great love" - the heir to the throne Alexander. A huge number of articles have been written about the relationship between the Prince and the Grand Duchess, compiled as if under a carbon copy - an engagement postponed due to the war, correspondence until his death, Alexander's unwillingness to marry until clear evidence of Tatiana's death appears, and even, allegedly, his suicide attempt due to the loss of his beloved. All the articles are of the same type, and all without a single proof and excerpts from a more or less authoritative source.Meanwhile, it will not work to write off the silence of Tatiana Nikolaevna, who was considered the most restrained and majestic of the tsar's daughters, for modesty: she did not hide her feelings (when there were any) - sympathy for officers Vladimir Kiknadze and Dmitry Malama splashed out on the pages of her diary. Tatiana did not ignore her interest in Alexander's close relative, Prince Peter of Montenegro. "So you really, really liked Peter of Montenegro and you are not averse to becoming the aunt of John and Elena! Um, um... I don't know if I like it - while you have a lot of time ahead to change your mind about everything for a long time and a lot," writes Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna to her fourteen-year-old niece in her letter in August 1911, a year later, in September 1912, at the height of the Balkan War, she also makes fun of Tatiana - "of course, you think a lot about Montenegro at the moment. They fight famously...". Twenty-three-year-old Peter fought in the ranks of the Montenegrin army in the Ottoman Empire at that time - Prince Alexander, whom Tatiana was supposed to see at the same time, at the wedding of Princess Elena and Prince John Konstantinovich, also at the front, but his future "bride" does not bother. Peter comes to Russia again in July 1914 - and is interested in Tatiana again. "We went to a big lunch for Kazan residents and Akhtyrites. There were only aunts from Aunt Stan, Vera and Elena. Peter too. I talked to him after lunch, he's so cute," she writes in her diary on July 12: the prince has been following the princesses for several days, visiting the palace, going to regimental maneuvers, going to the theater with them. On July 13, Peter is leaving - Tatiana also mentions this in her notes.

Александр, впрочем, тоже получает свою долю внимания, но уже от другой великой княгини. Имя князя цветет на страницах дневника Ольги Николаевны - и ярко "цветет". "Приехал Александр Сербский (В русской форме. Ух, какие глаза)", "Я стоял рядом с Александром Сербским, он был чуть дальше. Ух, ух какой", "Мы завтракали с Папой, Тетей, Костей и Александром Я сидел с ним. Милый, смущающий и красивый ужастик. Вау-вау какой». О князе Ольга вздыхает в своих дневниковых записях за 1913 год, в 1914-м она считает месяцы со дня разлуки и признается, что рада видеть княжну Елену Петровну («она — частичка Александра, и я люблю ее»).

A couple of Alexander and Olga Nikolaevna???

Interesting! Loved the letter from Olga A to Tatiana, she always has such a fun, teasing, light-hearted style. The plot thickens!
