Queen Alexandra as a Christmas Fairy, First World War, 1915 - A Heartwarming Gesture of Compassion and Support
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures Queen Alexandra, the beloved queen consort of King Edward VII, dressed as a Christmas fairy during the First World War in 1915. The image showcases her Majesty's unwavering dedication to serving soldiers at a free buffet in London. During this tumultuous time, the free buffets at major railway stations provided much-needed respite for soldiers returning home on leave from the front lines. Queen Alexandra recognized their significance and took a keen interest in these initiatives. In an act of genuine compassion and solidarity with those who served their country bravely, she paid a surprise visit to Lady Limerick's buffet at London Bridge during the festive season. The photograph beautifully depicts Queen Alexandra actively participating alongside voluntary workers for an hour and a half. Drawn by W. Hatherell R. I. , it is featured in "The Great World War: A History" edited by Frank A Mumby. This poignant image serves as a testament to Queen Alexandra's commitment to supporting servicemen during one of history's darkest periods. Her presence among them not only boosted morale but also highlighted her deep appreciation for their sacrifices. As we reflect upon this remarkable moment captured over a century ago, let us remember the enduring legacy of compassion embodied by Queen Alexandra—a true symbol of strength and empathy amidst adversity.
