Queen Camilla wore a large heart shaped aquamarine and diamond brooch with a heart shaped pendant. It was announced by Robert Hardman during the service that the brooch was from Queen Elizabeth II’s collection but trondnorenisaksenhistorian has revealed its origins.

Trond, who has been given access to Queen Alexandra’s photographic jewel inventory for a two-part article for Majesty Magazine, has stated in a new post this brooch originally belonged to Queen Alexandra.

“The splendid purple dress of Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom, exhibited at the Fashion Museum in Bath, is truly stunning. Its elegance is immediately reminiscent of the iconic costumes in the film Titanic.” - Text & Image Submitted by cenacevedo15

I found Alexandra's skincare routine (!!!), which she shared with Infanta Eulalia of Spain in a letter from 1897.

She also wrote to Infanta Eulalia of Spain who had asked her a personal question. After apologising for the long-delayed reply, she assured Eulalie; "do not for one moment imagine that I was annoyed by yr question - on the contrary I was very much flattered that you shld think poor old me & my complexion good. I cld hardly help laughing though when you asked what I did for it, or whom I had seen about it!!! I have never seen anybody or done anything for it - all I ever do is to wash every night in warm water & soap my face with unscented soap called Cameo & always put cold cream on after to keep it soft. Voila tout - and I strongly advise you not to try or consult any specialist for the skin, as they very often spoil the complexion instead of improving it, and you, who have such a pretty, fresh face & white skin really do not require anything to improve it, beyond these simple remedies I have mentioned."

”After it was all over, looking into the beddroom, Lady Macclesfield saw Alix and Bertie weeping together on the bed. Bertie's devotion and tenderness towards his wife was touching to behold.” The birth of Albert Victor on January 8th 1864 described in

Bertie: A life of Edward VII

And from the moment Albert Victor, referred as Eddy, was born, he would forever be adored by his young mother. Just as he adored her.

”From the time her first-born [Prince Albert Victor]'s legs were strong enough to carry him any distance she [Queen Alexandra] liked to go for long walks alone with him at Sandrigham, and as soon as he was big enough, he would take her arm or put his arm round her waist. [...] The eldest himself perhaps the best summed up the relationship with his mother in his own words, to one of those of looked after him when young. 'Mama is so nice', said he. 'She's fond of everything I like. There's nobody like mama.'”

Alexandra: Edward VII’s Unpredictable Queen, E.E.P Tisdall

When Eddy tragically passed away at the age of 28 in 1892 it was devastating for Alexandra and she was never to get over losing him, once saying, "I have buried my angel and with him my happiness."

Some people thought that George's sisters were jealous of Queen Mary's popularity and the cheering crowds who turned up wherever she went. For Motherdear it was painful to see George boy's obvious affection for his wife, and in her letters "sweet May" soon became "Poor May".
