—

Ferdinand (Ferdinand Viktor Albert Meinrad; 24 August 1865 – 20 July 1927), nicknamed Întregitorul ("the Unifier"), was King of Romania from 1914 until his death in 1927.

Marie (born Princess Marie Alexandra Victoria of Edinburgh; 29 October 1875 – 18 July 1938) was the last Queen of Romania as the wife of King Ferdinand I.

George V (George Frederick Ernest Albert; 3 June 1865 – 20 January 1936) was King of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Emperor of India, from 6 May 1910 until his death in 1936.

Mary of Teck (Victoria Mary Augusta Louise Olga Pauline Claudine Agnes; 26 May 1867 – 24 March 1953) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Empress of India, from 6 May 1910 until 20 January 1936, as the wife of King-Emperor George V.

I think this photo was taken in 1934/1935, because King George V looked really tired and weak. I find it adorable that Queen Elizabeth in this photo as a child tries to imitate the solemn posture of her grandmother Queen Mary.

This is one of my favorite photos of King George V and Queen Mary. Besides being one of the rare photos in which they smile, notice how George looks at his wife! They're adorable.

You can't see his face very well, but you can see that he is smiling as he looks towards Mary.

“I think the death of Princess Victoria of Wales had a profound emotional impact on her brother, King George V of the United Kingdom, possibly hastening his own demise. The difference between the dates of their deaths was only 48 days. George used to refer to Victoria as "no-one has ever had a sister like her". The loss of his beloved sister devastated the king's already weakened heart.” - Text & Image Submitted by cenacevedo15

King Christian X (Christian Carl Frederik Albert Alexander Vilhelm; 1870 – 1947); King of Denmark from 1912 to his death in 1947

I want to place this remarkable individual within the context of the many royal families we discuss in this blog. He had quite an eventful and successful reign, including transitioning his country into a constitutional monarchy, but this post is just about (some) of his relatives.

He was a grandson of Christian IX and the son of the future Frederick VIII. His brother was the future Hakoon VII of Norway. His paternal aunts were Dagmar (Empress Maria Feodorovna) and Queen Alexandra of the United Kingdom. King George V, Queen Maud, and Tsar Nicholas II were his first cousins. Christian X's mother was Lovisa of Sweden.

He was raised strictly in a palace part of the Amelienborg Palace complex. He received a military education and studied at the Officers Academy.

Christian initially loved Princess Marguerite of Orleans, but his feelings were not returned, so he married Princess Alexandrine of Mecklenburg Schwerin. Alexandrine's maternal line was Romanov...her mother, Anastasia, was the daughter of Nicholas I's younger son, Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaievich. They had two sons: Prince Frederick (1899–1972), later King Frederick IX of Denmark and Prince Knud (1900–1976)

In case you are wondering, he was 6 feet 7 inches tall.

What a dynasty Christian IX and Queen Louise gave to the world!

"KING AND QUEEN DRIVE TO THE RACES," Kingston Whig-Standard. June 24, 1933. Page 1. ---- This charmingly intimate picture of the King and Queen of England. together with their sons, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Gloucester, was snapped as the royal party was en route to Ascot to attend the famous races, which are such an important part of the fashionable "season." Crippled children from the Heatherwood hospital are waving a salute to the sovereigns as they pass in the royal coach.

[AL: What is ostensibly royal propaganda ends up being a rather grotesque display of wealth and power disparity all too typical of the monarchy - the royals, in the midst of the Great Depression, off to enjoy the races while the children of rank and file military veterans with orthopedic diseases watch their carriage go by.]
