HMY Victoria and Albert Corfu 21st April Towards the end of his life the King increasingly suffered from bronchitis probably as a result of his lifelong smoking habit. In March 1910 he was staying at Biarritz when he collapsed. He remained there to convalesce while in London Asquith tried to get the Finance Bill passed. The King's continued ill health was unreported and he attracted criticism for staying in France while political tensions were so high. On 27th April he returned to Buckingham Palace still suffering from severe bronchitis. Alexandra returned from visiting her brother King George I of Greece in Corfu a week later on 5 May. The King died at Buckingham Palace on 6th May 1910. This menu might have been on one of their last voyages on the Royal Yacht. unknown

41559showing the couple standing together almost certainly outside Balmoral he is wearing a kilt and a mourning band around his arm both have walking sticks 4¼" x 2½" no place but Balmoral no date circa Queen Victoria died at Osborne on 22nd January 1901. She was interred beside Prince Albert in the Royal Mausoleum Frogmore at Windsor Great Park. Edward's coronation had originally been scheduled for 26th June 1902. However two days before he was diagnosed with appendicitis. The disease was generally not treated operatively. It carried a high mortality rate but developments in anaesthesia and antisepsis in the preceding 50 years made life-saving surgery possible. Sir Frederick Treves with the support of Lord Lister performed a then-radical operation of draining a pint of pus from the infected abscess through a small incision. The next day Edward was sitting up in bed smoking a cigar. It seems likely that the new king was having a recuperative rest in Scotland before the coronation took place on 9th August 1902. unknown

Originally scheduled for 26th June of that year the ceremony had been postponed at very short notice because the King had been taken ill with an abdominal abscess that required immediate surgery. In contrast to the coronation of Queen Victoria some 64 years earlier Edward and Alexandra's coronation had been carefully planned as a spectacle reflecting the influence and culture of the British Empire then at the height of its power but also as a meaningful religious occasion.

34095showing the Prince of Wales full length in fancy dress costume for a tableau vivant he is wearing Scottish millitary kit with kilt and sporran and a breastplate 6½" x 4¼" London no date circa The practice of the Household performing tableau vivants over the New Year was revived some time after the death of the Prince Consort. There were normally several scenes each representing a letter or word followed by a final scene depicting the entire word. The Tableau often reproduced paintings - a particularly successful one being 'La Rixe' The Brawl after the painting by E. Meissonier which had been given to the Prince Consort in 1856. The scene was a quarrel in a tavern which Queen Victoria considered 'a truthful presentation of the picture'. They were not always so well received - a biblical tableau of Naomi and Ruth in 1888 was described by the Queen as 'not quite so successful as it might have been owing to the ladies getting the giggles and shaking'. The Tableau Vivant photo is an unusual form of photography which Queen Victoria had a passion for from the 1850s. This is one of the later ones which are more difficult to find as the majority of them have remained in Royal Collections. unknown
