 Edward VII of the United Kingdom
Once widowed, Victoria effectively withdrew from public life, but shortly after Albert's death, she arranged for her son to marry Alexandra of Denmark, a stunningly beautiful young princess to whom the prince was deeply attracted.

When Queen Victoria died in 1901, however, there was no question of Bertie's not becoming king, and he took the title of Edward VII to honor a request by Queen Victoria that no future king be named Albert.

Victoria's mother, Alexandra, who was known for her kindness, gave Victoria permission to go to meetings, and she was expected to a convention in Ireland in 1919, which Lord Stamfordham put a stop to.
I couldn't forget what Princess Victoria said; that she was "tired of being a somebody and welcomed the chance of being a nobody." As time passed, we saw this really taking place slowly and quietly the yielded clay was taking shape of what was in the mind of the Potter.
During Queen Alexandra's widowhood, she was her mother's inseparable companion, and it was not until her death that at the age of fifty-seven the Princess gained independence in a household of her own at Coppins, Iver, in Buckinghamshire.
