The Danish Royal Family

King Christian IX of Denmark (1818 - 1906) and Queen Louise of Denmark (1817 - 1898) nee Louise of Hesse-Kessel and their children

This Wednesday, a little love for the Danish Royal Family, who gave us Queen Alexandra of England, one of the most beautiful queens to sit on a throne since photography was created (no makeup, Botox, fillers, plastic surgery), and her sister, Empress Maria Feodorovna (Princess Dagmar of Denmark) one of the prettiest and most beloved Empresses of all the Russias.

So where did all that beauty come from? Most of us have seen photographs of Christian IX and Queen Louise in their older years. At least I had not seen them young. I looked for some photos, and I am including them here. Both of them were good-looking. Louise had a pretty face and beautiful eyes. And so did Christian! He was not bad-looking at all, tall and slim. The little cleft on Alexandra's chin apparently came from her father. The girls had good genes.

The House of Glücksburg, to which Christian IX and Queen Louise belonged, is a collateral branch of the German House of Oldenburg. Its members have reigned at various times in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Greece, and several northern German states.

King Christian IX and Queen Louise were double cousins. King Christian was called the "father-in-law of Europe" on account of the marriage of his children to foreign princes and princesses.

Current monarchs King Charles III of the United Kingdom, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and King Harald V of Norway, as well as former queens consort Ann Marie of Greece and Sofia of Spain, are patrilineal members of cadet branches of the House of Glücksburg. (gcl)

“There was a blind item on a popular Hollywood site about a Princess being caught in a foreign country with cocaine and her daddy had to make calls to get her out of it. All the comments were saying it must be Alexandra of Hannover, but some doubted that Earnst August has much connections to be making calls. Some suggested it could be Maria Olympia, based on nothing but her being very thin. Pavlos does seem to have more significant connections than Earnst August. Then I remembered how the rumors in Norway about Ingrid sniffing coke like her mother started before she turned 18.” - Submitted by Anonymous

Alexandra, Dagmar and Thyra.

There is no doubt that Queen Alexandra's mother [Queen Louise of Denmark] was a very charming and remarkable woman, and her daughters will readily admit that neither of them has inherited all her gifts, which appear, indeed, to have been divided amongst them. Alexandra has her mother's taste for music, her strong maternal instincts, and excelled her in beauty; Dagmar has inherited more of her faculty and intellectual gifts; while Thyra resembled her most in charm of manner and love of home-life.

Dagmar: A butterfly! Hey, little guy, gal or nonbinary pal!

George: Can a butterfly be nonbinary?

Dagmar: I mean, maybe? I don't judge.

Alexandra, staring dreamily out of the window: Ah, have you ever imagine having butterfly wings? Then-

Wilhelmina: Then it would be inconvenient as f**k. Your wings would smack every doorframe and your clothes would have to have holes in the back.

Charles John: Also, your wing's paper thin, so even if a six year old aimed a NERF gun at it would… Yeah…

Thyra: sips coffee According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way that a-

Alexandra: No, nononono. You f**kers have already shattered my dream, you don't get the f**king privilege to make that reference.

George: Also, it's about a butterfly, not a bee… Why would you make that reference?

Dagmar: You clearly have not lived with her long enough.
