EDITORS COMMENTS
Princess Alexandra of Denmark's Arrival at Gravesend: A Victorian Romantic Event On a crisp March day in 1863, Princess Alexandra of Denmark, the beautiful and beloved daughter of King Christian IX of Denmark, made her way to England for her marriage to Albert Edward, the Prince of Wales. The historic moment was marked by an outpouring of excitement and sentiment, as the young princess was met by her future husband and a welcoming party of no less than sixty Maids of Kent who scattered flowers in her path. The scene at Gravesend, a picturesque town on the Thames estuary, was one of grandeur and romance. The Prince, later known as Bertie, stood eagerly on the shore, his heart filled with anticipation as he awaited the arrival of his bride-to-be. The Princess, resplendent in a stunning white gown, was accompanied by her parents, King Christian IX and Queen Louise, as well as her two sisters, Dagmar, who would later become Empress Maria Feodorovna of Russia, and Thyra, who would become Duchess of Cumberland. The arrival of the Danish royal family at Gravesend was a momentous occasion, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the lives of the young couple. The marriage between Princess Alexandra and Prince Albert Edward was a union of two powerful European monarchies, and the event was celebrated with great fanfare throughout the United Kingdom and beyond. This photograph captures the romantic and sentimental spirit of the occasion, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and pageantry of a bygone era. The image of the beautiful Princess Alexandra, surrounded by her family and the welcoming Maids of Kent, is a testament to the enduring allure of royal weddings and the power of love to captivate the hearts of people around the world.
