Minny & Alix da Bolimages Tramite Flickr: Sisters Dagmar (1847-1928) and Alexandra (1844-1925) were Danish Princesses by birth. Dagmar married the Tsarevich Alexander, later Emperor Alexander III of Russia and became Tsarina Maria Feodorvna. She was the mother of the last Tsar Nicholas II. Alexandra married Edward, Crown Prince of Great Britain and became Queen Alexandra. The sisters were very close and enjoyed dressing up in identical outfits.

+ The Denmark daisies + Princesses Dagmar and Alexandra of Denmark, were the eldest daughters of Christian IX of Denmark. Princess Dagmar became Empress Maria Feodorovna, the consort of Alexander llI, Emperor of Russia, and Princess Alexandra became the consort of King Edward VIl. In 1873, Maria, Alexander, and their two eldest sons made a journey to England. When Maria stepped off the boat to greet Alexandra, it was instantly apparent that the royal sisters were wearing identical outfits. They continued to dress alike for the entirety of the visit, the result of a plan months in the making. It was a logistical nightmare, arranging for the dresses to be made in Paris beforehand and ensuring their arrival in time for the visit. It was a show of Danish solidarity by sisters separated geographically. --Painting by Elisabeth Baumann-- #dagmarofdenmark #alexandraofdenmark #queenalexandra #mariafeodorovna #empressmariafeodorovna #alexandraofunitedkingdom #danishroyalfamily #danish #princesses https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdgt_F-sVAq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
