“Your sympathy is a great comfort to me and my daughter, who has endured such a severe trial at such an early age... She tells me that she would not for anything in the world wish to change the past, no matter how short, but happy it was; and I will never forget his look when the Tsar led her by the hand to his bed! It was pure happiness, and he recognized her all day when he was dying. He said goodbye to her, kissed her, and held her hand tightly in his until he died! We were on the road for four days and four nights, and she never left his bedside, kneeling next to him day and night, until at one o'clock in the afternoon she kissed him and he exhaled his young life! It was terrible for me, because I loved him very much and saw how all the happiness of the poor young bride had faded away... Minnie went to Darmstadt for the day to see his parents again. The whole dear family was so kind and sweet to her that the separation was doubly painful for her."

- Queen Louise of Denmark in a letter to Queen Victoria, on her daughter Princess Dagmar’s grief at the death of her fiancé, Grand Duke Nicholas Alexandrovich of Russia. Dagmar went on to become Empress Maria Alexandrovna as the wife of Nicholas’s brother, Emperor Alexander III. Their firstborn son was named after the uncle he never knew, he is known to history as Nicholas II, the last Russian emperor.

Queen Louise of Denmark, Empress Alexandra Feodorovna, Grand Duchess Xenia Alexandrovna, and Princess Marie of Greece and Denmark (Greek Minnie)

All of them beautiful in their own way…even Greek Minnie looks lovely; her features did not yet show the “constant expression of displeasure” into which they would seem to set later in life.

In my opinion, King Christian IX and Queen Louise raised their children to occupy the high places they would in Imperial Europe and also did the work necessary to find those children appropriate grooms and brides…for the most part. gcl

“It must have been amazing to be a grandson of monarchs, Christian IX of Denmark and Queen Louise. Imagine every summer you would meet the Kings of Greece, the Russian Emperors and the future monarchs of the United Kingdom and Denmark, plus some of your cousins ​​would also become monarchs and some of your cousins ​​queen consorts. It must have been amazing to see all these people in one place and be able to talk to them.” - Submitted by cenacevedo15
