Not yet widely known is he and Alexandra had an elder son, born in 1862. In September 1861, Bertie and 16 yrs old Alexandra, met by arrangement with a view of marriage and by December 1861, her pregnancy was obvious. Prince Albert furiously confronted his son Bertie, passing away shortly after. The confrontation was hushed up by announcing that Bertie just had a dalliance with an actress, to spare the dignity and moral standing of both the UK and Danish Royal Families. Alexandra was sent to South Africa where she met the intended foster parents and in June 1862, their son was born, unannounced, baptized with an assumed name and sadly abandoned, in keeping with the view of Queen Victoria who regarded illegitimate children as Ghosts Best Forgotten. Alexandra returned home to become engaged to Bertie and eventually they married, thus legitimising their eldest son, whose descendants have irrefutable DNA evidence of their zero distance between them and the Royal Family relatives. The late Queen Elizabeth 11 acknowledged her close relatives and sent a personally signed golden card, shortly before her passing. The current Monarch has declined communication, indeed there is seemingly efforts to keep these close relatives hidden from public records. After communication with the elderly former Queen of Denmark, she promptly Abdicated...

I like Bertie. He seemed like a nice guy. His lemon peel of a mother could've taken a lesson from him.

The account of Alice Keppel and Edward's passing given here is not the account I had heard. Wonder what her source material is. As to chloroform: Victoria only used it during (as I remember) the last two pregnamcies (Leopold and Beatrice).

Pronunciation is horrible. Infamous is not “in famous”. Buchanan pronounced wrong too. This is pretty basic stuff. Please do better.
