WHILE I WAS WANDERING AROUND IN THE INTERNET LOOKING FOR GREAT “STUFF,” I FOUND THESE SPLENDID IMAGES OF QUEEN ALEXANDRA. I LOVE TO WANDER THROUGH LONDON AS WELL AS IN THE INTERNET. REALLY FUN.

ENJOY!  These are really great images to see in spite of their quality.  With near-war between Iran and Israel, revolution in Syria, unemployment around the world, continuing conflicts between Pakistan and India, I prefer to write about Britain, London, British History, and about my “wanderings” through the streets of my favorite city in the world.  The World may have gone crazy, but I am sticking to the old phrase KEEP CALM AND……. I CANNOT IMAGE HATING SO MUCH WHEN THERE IS SO MUCH TO LOVE.  So, on we go with all things British (with a bit of US and France in the mix).  Thank goodness for the steady figure of the Queen–and a few others.

Queen Alexandra and her sister the Dowager Tsarina of Russia — taken in Hvidore, Denmark

A fabulous image of the Tsarina seated with King Edward VII, Queen Alexandra standing.  Image taken in Marlborough House, London

A mournful Queen Alexandra and Queen Mary — heavily veiled, en route to St. George’s Chapel for the funeral of King Edward VII.  INCREDIBLE IMAGE

Alexandra, when Princess of Wales, with the future Edward VII and with Queen Victoria.  Windsor Castle, Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee

Queen Alexandra with Eddie Duke of Clarence and with George Duke of York.  I would love to find a better copy of this fabulous picture.  Absolutely wonderful, really.

Queen Alexandra with her son King George V and a smiling

A stunning Queen Alexandra, Queen and Empress, wearing Queen Victoria’s “Starburst Jewel,”  her wedding necklace must altered and aggrandized,  and King George IV’s “Circlet.”  She was the epitome of the EDWARD AGE.   I like her very much:  quiet, elegant, but very influential behind the scenes.
