The wedding dress of Princess Alexandra of Denmark (the future Queen Alexandra) was worn at her wedding to Albert Edward, Prince of Wales (King Edward VII from 1901 to 1910) on 10 March 1863 in St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. It was the first in British royal history to be photographed while being worn. The gown was made by London dressmaker Mrs James of Belgravia.[1] It is now part of the British Royal Collection. In 2011, the dress was part of a display of royal wedding dresses at Kensington Palace.[2]
