Marie QUEEN OF ROMANIA SIGNED "MADDY" AUTO Original ROYALTY RPPC POSTCARD
ORIGINAL POSTCARD ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN BY THE QUEEN HERSELF, HAVE MORE FROM THIS COLLECTION GOING UP SOON....Marie and her siblings, Prince Alfred (b. 1874, known as /"Young Affie/"), and Princesses Victoria Melita (b. 1876, known as /"Ducky/"), Alexandra (b. 1878, known as /"Sandra/") and Beatrice (b. 1884, known as /"Baby Bee/"), spent much of their early life at Eastwell Park, which their mother preferred to Clarence House, their official residence. In her memoirs, Marie remembered Eastwell fondly. The Duke of Edinburgh was largely absent from his children's lives due to his position in the British Royal Navy, and their life was governed by their mother. Marie later stated that she did not even know the colour of her father's hair until she looked at later portraits of him, believing it to be much darker than it actually was. When he was at home, the Duke would often play with his children, inventing many games for them. Of all her siblings, Marie was closest to her sister Victoria Melita, who was one year younger, but whom everyone believed to be the older girl because of her stature, much to the princesses' dismay. The Edinburgh children were all baptised and raised in the Anglican faith; this upset their Russian Orthodox mother. The Duchess of Edinburgh was a supporter of the idea of separating generations, and Marie deeply regretted the fact that her mother never allowed chatting between the two /"as if [they] were equals/". Nonetheless, the Duchess was independent-minded, cultured, and /"the most important person/" in her children's lives. At the behest of their mother, Marie and her sisters were taught French, which they detested and rarely spoke. Overall, the Duchess neglected her daughters' education, considering them not very bright or gifted. They were permitted to read aloud, but in the fields of painting and drawing, areas in which they had inherited Queen Victoria's talent, the girls received only a /"pedestrian instruction/". The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh frequently received members of the royal family at Eastwell Park, inviting them for breakfast nearly daily, and in 1885 Marie and Victoria Melita served as bridesmaids at the wedding of their aunt Beatrice and Prince Henry of Battenberg. Among Marie's playmates were her maternal cousins Grand Dukes Nicholas (called /"Nicky/"), George (called /"Georgie/"), and Grand Duchess Xenia of Russia; their siblings, Michael (called /"Misha/") and Olga, were too young for the Edinburgh girls. Other playmates included the children of Marie's maternal uncle Grand Duke Vladimir Alexandrovich of Russia. Princess Marie, photographed in 1888 In 1886, when Marie was eleven years old, the Duke of Edinburgh was named commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean Fleet and the family took up residence at San Antonio Palace in Malta. Marie later described her time in Malta as /"the happiest memory of my existence/". It was in Malta that Marie found her first love, Maurice Bourke, the captain of the Duke's ship, whom Marie called /"Captain Dear/". She was prone to fits of jealousy when Bourke would pay more attention to one of her sisters than to her. The Duke and Duchess were greatly loved in Malta, and San Antonio Palace was frequently full of guests. Marie and Victoria Melita received white horses from their mother and went to the local hippodrome nearly daily, apart from Saturday. During their first year in Malta, a French governess oversaw the princesses' education, but due to her failing health, she was replaced the following year by a much younger German woman.
