EDITORS COMMENTS
In this rare and intimate moment captured in 1907, Queen Alexandra of Denmark and her sister, the Dowager Empress Marie of Russia, are seen enjoying a friendly game of billiards at their home, Villa Hvidore near Copenhagen. The elegant setting of the billiard room provides a glimpse into the luxurious lifestyle of European royalty during this time.
Queen Alexandra, known for her impeccable sense of style and grace, appears relaxed and at ease as she lines up her shot on the green baize table. Her sister, Empress Marie, exudes regal poise as she watches attentively from across the room. The bond between these royal siblings is palpable in this candid moment captured by an unknown photographer.
The Villa Hvidore served as a private retreat for Queen Alexandra and her family, away from the pomp and ceremony of court life. Here, they could indulge in leisurely pursuits such as billiards in a more informal setting. This image offers a rare glimpse into the personal lives of two influential figures in European history.
As we admire this snapshot frozen in time over a century ago, we are reminded that even queens and empresses enjoyed moments of relaxation and camaraderie with loved ones. It is through images like these that we can connect with the humanity behind the titles and crowns worn by these remarkable women.
