The authors have done an excellent job profiling the Danish country home of Queen Alexandra of Great Britain and her sister, the Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia. The ample photos and superb text give us a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these two sisters and the home they shared and loved. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
In 1906 Queen Alexandra and her sister the Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna of Russia purchased Hvid©ıre, a villa on the Danish coast, a private home. Until 1914 the sisters visited the property every autumn, entertaining friends and many royal relatives in an informal atmosphere. It was indeed a royal retreat. The first world war put an end to these happy times but in 1919, now exiled from Russia, the Dowager Empress made the villa her home and Hvid©ıre became a court in exile. In 1920 she was joined by her younger daughter Olga and her family, who all lived at Hvid©ıre, not always happily, until the Empress's death in 1928. A Royal Retreat tells the story of the purchase, renovation, the many royal visitors and finally the sale of this forgotten royal home. Magnificent original illustrations from a private collection.
