Need help with information on queen alexandra of wales? Why were all these hospitals named after her? SPECIFIC

Question

PLEASE help me

Answer 1

As Princess of Wales, Alexandra took a particular interest in the London Hospital visiting it regularly. As Queen Alexandra, she continued devoting time to her charitable causes, one of the most notable being Alexandra Rose Day, where artificial roses made by the disabled were sold in aid of hospitals by women volunteers.

Alexandra was highly popular with the public, and as Queen from 1901 to 1910, and Queen Mother thereafter, Alexandra was greatly loved by the British people. Funds that she helped to collect were used to fit out a hospital ship to bring back wounded from the Boer War, which was named The Princess of Wales in her honour.

During the Boer War, she founded Queen Alexandra's Nursing Corps, which became known as the "Q.A.s". Alexandra Palace in North London, the Royal Alexandra Theatre in Toronto and Queen Alexandra Bridge in Sunderland are named after her. Crewe Alexandra F.C. is thought to be named in her honour.

Note: Alexandra of Denmark was Queen Consort to Edward VII of the United Kingdom and Empress of India during her husband's reign. Prior to that, she was bestowed upon the title "Princess of Wales", at the time of her marriage to "Prince Albert, Prince of Wales", who then later became "King Edward VII." However, Alexandra never held the title "Queen Alexandra of Wales" at the same time.

Answer 2

There never was anyone called "Queen Alexandra of Wales".

Princess Alexandra of Denmark married the Prince of Wales (the eldest son of Queen Victoria) and became the Pricness of Wales. When Queen Victoria died her son became King Edward VII, and Alexandra became his Queen.

In 1902 she founded "Queen Alexandra’s Imperial Military Nursing Service", the first British Army nursing service. Later came "Queen Alexandra’s Naval Nursing Service". She was very much involved with nursing and hospital provision, so it was natural that many hospitals were named after her.
