By kind permission of Her Majesty The Queen, this book has been
based on extensive research over many years in the Royal Archives
and elsewhere. The author was the first official Curator of the
Royal Photograph Collection. Queen Alexandra was a private person
who destroyed or left instructions to destroy, much of her archive,
but nevertheless enough remains in the form of original documents,
such as engagement diaries and letters and informal information, to
chart her life more completely than ever before and to attempt to
rectify the negative or dismissive attitude towards her which has
gained credence in some previous works. This method, rather than
drawing mainly from over-salted and peppered memoirs written much
later, aims to show her character, enables readers to get to know
her and to appreciate what an enormous amount a senior member of
the royal family has to accomplish, while still remaining the
loving daughter, sister, wife and mother, and keen supporter of the
arts, welfare and education, that Alexandra was. During her life
she met many famous, notable and intriguing people, while her own
journey - from the young, modest Danish Princess who married the
Prince of Wales in 1863, to the popular Queen Consort of King
Edward VII, and the beloved Queen Mother - saw her personal
development and courageous struggle against disability, especially
deafness. She was a generous, thoughtful and caring woman, who
maintained her sense of humour and interest in all kinds of things
and under sometimes challenging circumstances. She could be a
lively correspondent and her letters will help readers to
understand her far better than has hitherto been possible. This
book is long and detailed and readers may like to dip in and out of
it, finding stories in all parts, rather than reading it straight
through, but it might claim a place among the variety of
entertainments which are comforting us in these difficult times.
