“Princess thyra of Denmark, crown princess of Hannover was so underrated, she doesn’t even have a biography focusing solely on her life, there’s only biographies about her siblings but not her.” - Submitted by Anonymous

”The youngest of families tends to be treated with special tenderness, and that was the case here as well. Both the parents and the entire Danish people loved the young Prince [Waldemar] and Princess [Thyra], […] As also the youngest of the capital's "favourites", Princess Tyra, left her childhood home to take her place by the Duke of Cumberland's side, there was sorrow mixed in the festive atmosphere.”

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)

Alexandra of Denmark (Alexandra Caroline Marie Charlotte Louise Julia; 1 December 1844 – 20 November 1925) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the British Dominions, and Empress of India from 22 January 1901 to 6 May 1910 as the wife of King-Emperor Edward VII.

—

Maria Feodorovna (26 November 1847 – 13 October 1928), known before her marriage as Princess Dagmar of Denmark, was Empress of Russia from 1881 to 1894 as the wife of Emperor Alexander III.

She was the second daughter of Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel.

Maria's eldest son became the last Russian monarch, Emperor Nicholas II.

Maria lived for 10 years after Bolshevik functionaries murdered Nicholas and his immediate family in 1918.

—

Princess Thyra of Denmark (Thyra Amalie Caroline Charlotte Anna; 29 September 1853 – 26 February 1933) was the youngest daughter and fifth child of Christian IX of Denmark and Louise of Hesse-Kassel.

In 1878, she married Ernest Augustus, the exiled heir to the Kingdom of Hanover.

As the Kingdom of Hanover had been annexed by Prussia in 1866, she spent most of her life in exile with her husband in Austria.

—

Christian IX (8 April 1818 – 29 January 1906) was King of Denmark from 15 November 1863 until his death in 1906.

From 1863 to 1864, he was concurrently Duke of Schleswig, Holstein and Lauenburg.

“I can't imagine the pain that Princess Thyra of Denmark went through during her life, when she had to separate from her "bastard" daughter, the result of a romance with a Danish official. Contemporaries of the princess reported that throughout her life, Thyra suffered from long depressive episodes. Nowadays children born out of wedlock are accepted in monarchies. If Princess Thyra lived today, surely she would not part with her daughter.” - Submitted by Anonymous
