Upon her engagement to the Prince of Wales, Queen Victoria gifted a manor known as Sandringham House to Princess Alix of Denmark. Her husband-to-be disliked the home and tore it down to build a finer estate in its place, which became Alix’s favorite place to stay. #royaltrilogy

The royal family of Denmark used this country chateau, the Fredensborg Palace, to enjoy riding, swimming, and boating. They entertained distant relatives so often that a new holiday tradition was born known as “Fredensborg Days,” which continued for nearly 50 years. #royalhistory

During the 47 year marriage of King Edward VII to Queen Alexandra, Edward was a constant philanderer. Alix endured graciously. She set standards for British royal elegance and her influence is seen in nearly every custom carried on by the British royal family today. #royalwomen

The Alix & Minnie: A Royal Trilogy series is set in the same time period as @DowntonAbbey, and while it is real life in every respect, the author has intentionally written the books to read as a novel. #mustread @TheEllenShow @Oprah @oprahsbookclub @ReesesBookClub @RoyalFamily

Empress Marie's #fashion was so extravagant she requested two matching fur coats be made. Twin animals were bred so the pelts would be identical. The reason? She wanted an indoor coat and an outdoor coat. #Royalty @ladygaga @celinedion @TheCrownNetflix https://t.co/U7Sfkpi5Uu
