But were they known as such while their husbands were alive? Or was it only after (once they were Dowagers)?
That is what I am wondering about as well - furthermore, some have suggested that Alexandra and Mary being princesses by birth also made a difference - however, that wouldn't apply to Queen Elizabeth (the current queen's mother).
