 Cheryl Brown's Column
Princess Alexandra, who did not relish Queen Victoria’s desire to attend the births of children and great grandchildren, tended to announce later due dates to thwart her mother-in-law’s plans.
Overcoming her fear of consanguinity—her own marriage to a first cousin had possibly led to hemophilia in one of her sons and several of her grandsons—Victoria even proposed several of granddaughters as potential brides.
Her mother was extremely popular throughout the country but was not well liked by the Queen, who found Mary and her husband too “jolly.” The Duke and Duchess of Teck were rarely invited to see the Queen and, therefore, Victoria had not met 24-year-old Princess May in several years.
