S3.64 Alexandra of Denmark
Manage episode 429606033 series 2967841
We are into our final mini-series of the series, with Alexandra of Denmark (or Alix, as she was known), consort to King Edward VII. Alix enjoyed a surprisingly modest upbringing and was not initially favoured as a bride by Queen Victoria, but her kindly character and natural beauty saw her win the day. However, she would have to deal with excessive nagging from her mother-in-law and serial infidelity from her husband as well as the pressures of ill health and international diplomacy. It would be a long wait to become queen, but will Alexandra of Denmark be able to make her mark and be worthy of the Rex Factor?
