    Alexandra married Albert Edward, later Edward VII from 1901, in 1863. On marriage she became Princess of Wales. She was never ever a mere Queen of England. She was Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and the British Dominions Beyond the Seas, Empress of India. Please get the titles right.

    More than the jewels, Queen Alexandra was such a beauty during her time

      The press complains about royal pix being edited but queen Alexandra's were changed in her own time to make her look younger.

      Queen Alexandra was the jerk. The daughter who wasn't allowed to marry inherited the tiara her father gave her mother as a wedding gift. She sold it and it was broken up by the new owners. Unfortunate but it did and still does happen.

      If you have diamonds but your children are starving what would you do? They weren't left well off and inheritance tax in the UK is more than what the jewels are even worth lots of the time. They did what they had to do.

If she had wanted any of her personal jewels to remain in the royal family's vault , she would've expressly said in her will. But she didn't so her children did what they had to.

    I would really like all this. I am really happy God is in my life . I do not want the wrong people into God at all. I had so much fun reading the Bible everywhere. They should be glad I’m really going to do it . I talked to my cousin Russell Brand and he was happy I was really going to do it marry the real person God ordained for me to be married to monogamously every year. I talked to him in 2020 . We had a great conversation. I was just supposed to get married to that person in 2020 to show the real children I had with that person and marry him in Chicago but Debbie Marriott Harrison was there’ and she’s a bad influence and severely gross into children romantically and bisexual or a lesbian. There’s a white only one that’s supposed to be married to Ron Harrison that’s why I was with really with Ron Harrison because of her doing what she was doing with a certain person. Really because people said I was mentally ill and couldn’t have sex at all which was not true. and not good at and that the black people and black Hispanic people looking white from subliminals and doing blood transfusion with blood from white dns I was with Elon Musk too and he called me in 2020. and congratulated me on something and some other people.
