Alexandra Dead Death Bed Lying Mourning Placing Royals Token Widow Widowed


EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant image captures the moment of profound sorrow and devotion as Queen Alexandra tenderly places a single rose in the hands of her late husband, King Edward VII, on his death bed on May 6, 1910. The scene unfolds in the opulent surroundings of the Royal Palace, as the Queen, dressed in deep mourning attire, bids her final farewell to the monarch who had ruled the British Empire for over twenty-two years. The rose, a traditional symbol of love and remembrance, represents the enduring bond between the couple and the deep emotional connection they shared. King Edward VII, who was affectionately known as 'Bertie,' had been suffering from heart disease and had been in poor health for some time. His death marked the end of an era, as he was the last monarch of the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and the first British monarch to die in Buckingham Palace. His passing also brought an end to the long-standing rift between the monarchy and the British public, as his reign was marked by popular support and a renewed sense of pride in the institution of the monarchy. The image of Queen Alexandra placing the rose on her husband's chest is a powerful reminder of the human side of royalty and the enduring power of love and devotion in the face of loss. The photograph, taken on the day of the King's death, is a poignant and moving testament to the history of the British monarchy and the deep emotional connections that bind its members to their people and to each other.
