At some point between the death of Alfred, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha on July 30, 1900 and that of Queen Victoria on January 22, 1901, Princess Alexandra tells her younger sister Dowager Empress Dagmar of Russia that she is still upset over the death of their mother Queen Louise of Denmark even though it has been almost three years. In reality, Louise died on September 29, 1898, approximately two years earlier.
