1903

Letter excerpt from Grand Duchess Maria Alexandrovna  to Princess Marie of Romania

Schloss Rosenau, 5 July 1903

Now, about Ducky coming to you. Kyrill is to leave on the 20th and she proposes going also then to you, I am very pleased that she has come to this resolution. I wish only that the following proposal should come from you first: that she should absolutely bring her daughter, which would only be right and natural. She has not seen that poor child since before Easter, that means for two months and alas! I must add, does not seem to miss her a bit. She is always putting off her coming back... This is natural just at this moment, when she is sticking the whole day long with Kyrill, like an engaged couple and the sharp child would be terribly in the way. But when the principle obstacle removes himself and she goes to you, she ought to take her daughter back at last...

This question is a terribly sad one and I have somehow the feeling that at bottom Ducky would be relieved to get quite rid of this child. If she marries Kyrill it will probably end by it, but at present she must stick to her daughter. Oh! how sad it all is, for selfishness plays the principal part in this love affair and drowns all maternal feeling in her...

The Rock Crystal Egg or Revolving Miniatures Egg is an Imperial Fabergé egg, one in a series of fifty-two jeweled eggs made under the supervision of Peter Carl Fabergé for the Russian Imperial family. It was created in 1896 for Empress Alexandra Fyodorovna. The egg currently resides in the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.The egg was created by Faberge's workmaster, Mikhail Evlampievich Perkhin (Russian, 1860–1903) with miniatures by Johannes Zehngraf (Danish, 1857–1908)[2] It stands about 248 mm (9 3/4 in) tall on its stand, with a diameter of 98 mm (3 7/8 in.)[3] The outer shell is rock crystal banded with emerald-green enameled gold studded with diamonds. On the apex of the egg is a 27-carat (5.4 g) Siberian emerald supported by an emerald-green enameled gold mount. This cabochon-style emerald is one of the largest gemstones Fabergé used in any of the Imperial eggs.[4] The egg's base sits on a plinth of rock crystal. The base consists of a colorfully enameled gold double spheroid which is circled twice with rose-cut diamonds. It has the monograms of the Tsarina, as the Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt before her marriage, and later as Alexandra Fedorovna, Empress of Russia. Each monogram is surmounted with a diamond crown of the respective royal house.[4] These monograms form a continuous pattern around the base of the egg.Inside the rock crystal egg is a gold support holding twelve miniature paintings. The paintings are of the various palaces and residences that were significant to the Empress. Each location holds a special memory for Nicholas and Alexandra in the early days of their courtship, as they had just been married two years prior, in 1894.

When the large cabochon emerald on the apex is depressed it engages a mechanism that rotates the miniatures inside the egg. A hook moves down and folds the framed pictures back, like the pages of a book, so two paintings can be fully seen at one time.[1] Each miniature is framed in gold with an emerald on the apex. The frames are attached to a central fluted gold shaft which passes vertically through the egg.[4]

The locations include:

The Neues Palais, Darmstadt, Germany: Palace where the Empress was born.

Kranichstein, Hesse: A favorite summer residence of the Empress' youth.

Balmoral Castle, Scotland: Childhood holiday destination of Alexandra's grandmother, Queen Victoria.

Old Grand Ducal Palace (Altes Palais), Darmstadt: Official seat of Alexandra's father, Ludwig IV, Grand Duke of Hesse.

Wolfsgarten, Hesse: Hunting lodge Alexandra's family visited as a child.

Windsor Castle, near London, England: A residence of Queen Victoria where Alexandra visited as a child.

Palace Church, Coburg: Site where Alexandra first consented to marry Nicholas.

Schloss Rosenau, Coburg: A site Nicholas and Alexandra visited the day after their engagement.

Osborne House, Isle of Wight: Site of Nicholas' visit to see Alexandra while they were engaged.

The Winter Palace, St. Petersburg: The site of Nicholas and Alexandra's wedding.

Anichkov Palace, St. Petersburg: Residence of Maria Feodorovna, where Alexandra spent her first year in Russia.

The Alexander Palace, Tsarskoe Selo, near St. Petersburg: the Imperial family's favorite winter residence.The egg was presented by Nicholas II to Alexandra Fedorovna on March 24, 1896. She received it at Eastertide in the same year that the young couple had suddenly ascended the throne.[1]

In 1909 the egg was housed in the Empress' study in the Winter Palace. The egg was seized by the Kerensky Provisional Government and moved to the Armory Palace of the Kremlin in Moscow along with approximately 40 other eggs. In 1930, the Rock Crystal Egg was one of the ten Eggs sold by the Antikvariat (Trade Department) to the Hammer Galleries in New York for 8000 rubles, or approximately $4000 U.S. In 1945 the egg became the last of five Imperial Easter Eggs bought by Lillian Thomas Pratt, the wife of a General Motors executive John Lee Pratt. Upon Lillian Thomas Pratt's death in 1947, the egg was willed to Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Richmond, Virginia. It remains on view as part of the Virginia Museum of Fine Art's European Decorative Art collection

The Edinburgh Princesses mourning the death of their father Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in 1900.

Alfred's last year of life was overshadowed by the sudden death of his only son and heir to the throne, Hereditary Prince Alfred, who attempted suicide during the celebrations for the silver wedding anniversary of the ducal couple in 1899 and died two weeks later. Alfred blamed his wife and officially separated from her. To numb his pain, he began to drink.

Duke Alfred died on July 1900 , shortly before his 56th birthday, of throat cancer at his summer residence at Schloss Rosenau and was buried next to his son in the ducal mausoleum in Coburg.

ALFRED

Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha

(born 1844 - died 1900)

pictured above is a portrait of the Prince of the United Kingdom, by Franz Xaver Winterhalter from 1865

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

SERIES - On this day July Edition: Alfred died on 30 July 1900.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

ALFRED ERNEST ALBERT was born in 1844, at Windsor Castle. He was the second son of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom, and thus he was a member of the British brach of the HOUSE OF SAXE-COBURG AND GOTHA.

From birth he was a PRINCE OF THE UNITED KINGDOM and for almost 20 years he was the second-in-line to the British throne, passing to third in the line of succession after the birth of his nephew Prince Albert Victor of Wales in 1864.

By 1866 his mother created him DUKE OF EDINBURGH, EARL OF ULSTER and EARL OF KENT.

In 1874 he married MARIYA, a Grand Duchess of Russia, the only daughter of Alyeksandr II, Emperor of all the Russias and Mariya Alyeksandrovna. They had six children (check the list on the post about his Royal Wedding).

Having served in the Royal Navy since a young age he traveled and lived throughout the British Empire and achieved the rank of ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET in 1893.

That same year his uncle Ernst II, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha died and he succeeded as DUKE OF SAXE-COBURG AND GOTHA, because his father was already dead and his older brother Albert Edward, Prince of Wales had renounced his rights of succession in 1863.

His only surviving son Alfred, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha died in 1899, aged 24.

Over a year later, the Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha also died of throat cancer aged 55, on 30 July 1900 at Schloss Rosenau in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

As he did not have any other sons his British titles reverted to the Crown. And in the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha he was succeeded by his nephew Charles Edward, Duke of Albany, who during World War I was excluded from the British line of succession to do his German connections.

-------------------- ~ -------------------- ~ --------------------

Check my posts on ALFRED's wife and their Royal Wedding!

His wife was Mariya Alyeksandrovna, a Grand Duchess of Russia from her birth in 1853.

He married her in 1874.

Royal hideaway: Schloss Rosenau is a former castle, converted into a ducal country house, between the towns of Coburg and Rödental, formerly in Saxe-Coburg, now Bavaria, Southern Germany. Schloss Rosenau is perhaps most notable as the birthplace and boyhood home of Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, who in 1840 became the consort of Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland. It should not be confused with another house of the same name in the Waldviertel of Austria. Today, the Rosenau is in the care of the Bavarian Administration of State Palaces, Gardens & Lakes. Since 1990, the house and its landscape park have been open to the public and can be visited.

Balmoral Castle is built from granite quarried at Invergelder on the estate. It consists of two main square blocks, each arranged around a courtyard. The southwestern block contains the official rooms and the royal bedrooms, while the northeastern wing contains the kitchen, utility rooms, storage rooms, ancillary rooms and the staff rooms. Connecting the two main wings is an 80-foot (24 m) tall clock tower, modelled after the tower at Craigievar Castle. (first photo) It is topped with turrets, one of which has a balustrade similar to a feature at Castle Fraser. (second photo)

Prince Albert himself put the first sketches for the building on paper. He preferred the Scottish Baronial style with neo-Gothic elements, which were borrowed from German rather than English models. Several features from the Old Balmoral were also used in the design. Prince Albert was particularly interested in facade details such as the towers and the design of the windows. Features such as stepped gables were used that reminded Albert and the Queen of Schloss Rosenau, (third photo) the birthplace of Albert, and the Veste Coburg. In total, Balmoral Palace comprises over 70 rooms.

The purchase of a Scottish estate by Victoria and Albert and their adoption of a Scottish architectural style, was influential for the ongoing revival of Highland culture. They decorated Balmoral with tartans and attended highland games at Braemar. Queen Victoria expressed an affinity for Scotland, even professing herself to be a Jacobite. Added to the work of Sir Walter Scott, this became a major factor in promoting the adoption of Highland culture by Lowland Scots. Historian Michael Lynch comments that "the Scottishness of Balmoral helped to give the monarchy a truly British dimension for the first time".
